A woman from north London has been charged with two counts of expressing support for Hamas.
Sarah Cotte, 20, of Camden, allegedly made a public speech in October 2023 that endorsed and celebrated the 7 October attacks in Israel and invited support for those who committed them. This video was subsequently broadcast on X.
The second charge relates to similar comments allegedly made on a WhatsApp group.
Hamas is a proscribed organisation.
Cotte was arrested on 30 January, 2024, and charged on 4 March.
She is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on March 24.
