Devon man Harry Parris admits encouraging terrorism online
A man has admitted encouraging terrorist activity but denies threats to kill two terrorism experts.
Harry Parris, 22, pleaded guilty to four counts of encouraging terrorism online on the basis he was “reckless”.
On dates between 2019 to 2021 he published on video hosting services and messaging apps, the Old Bailey heard.
Parris, of Bittaford, Devon, also admitted six offences of having documents likely to be useful to a person preparing acts of terrorism.
However, the defendant denied making threats to kill two counter-terrorism analysts on 16 February 2020.
He also denied alternative charges of encouraging terrorism by publishing statements with the intention that members of the public would be encouraged.
The defendant entered his pleas before Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, via video link.
A provisional trial date has been set for 13 May and is due to be heard at Bristol Crown Court.
The defendant was granted continued bail with conditions, including not engaging in extreme right-wing activity online.
