A man from Birmingham charged with facilitating terrorism overseas has been told he faces no further action.
Mouloud Tahari, a student from Ashway in Sparkhill, was arrested as part of a police investigation into “Syria-related terrorism”.
The case against the 20 year-old was discontinued after police and the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction.
His mother Gerri Tahari, aged 44 from Sparkhill, will appear before a jury on 8 September charged with the same offence.
