KOTA BARU: The Sessions Court here on Thursday (Oct 24) ordered the trial of an ex-convict charged with four counts of possessing materials related to the Daesh terrorist group to be transferred to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.

Judge Zulkifli Abdullah issued the order after Nik Mohd Shalahuddin Zakaria, 40, did not object to the application by Deputy Public Prosecutor Shafiq Hasim.

The case was mentioned on Thursday.

Nik Mohd Shalahuddin, who was not represented by a lawyer, faced charges initially filed on July 21 this year.

On the first two charges, he was accused of possessing items related to terrorist acts and the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, including 1,020 photos, 26 videos and 321 articles in PDF form on a black mobile phone.

Similar materials, comprising 378 photos, 36 videos and 244 articles in PDF format, were also found on another cell phone belonging to him. These offences were committed in Kampung Senang, Kota Jembal, at 9.15am on June 10.

The charges were framed under Section 130JB(1) of the Penal Code, which provides a maximum prison sentence of seven years or a fine, along with the confiscation of any property used or intended to be used in committing the offence upon conviction.

He was also charged with expressing support for the IS terrorist group through a Facebook account under the name Ahmad Saif Al-Islam II. This act was detected at 10.15pm at the Bukit Aman Police Headquarters, Kuala Lumpur, on June 10.

This charge falls under Section 130J(1)(a) of the Penal Code, which carries a prison sentence of up to 40 years or a fine upon conviction.

On the fourth charge, he was accused of being a member of the IS group by performing the "Baiah” ceremony with IS leader Abu Hafs Al Hashimi Al-Qurashi as a caliph to support the IS terrorist group in Kampung Senang, Kota Jembal, on June 10.

This offence also falls under Section 130J(1)(a) of the Penal Code and carries imprisonment for up to 40 years or a fine upon conviction.

Previously, Nik Mohd Shalahuddin was jailed for three years for possessing materials related to a terrorist group. – Bernama
