A man and woman have been charged with terrorism offences following an operation by the Metropolitan police counter-terrorism command.

The pair, both from London, were charged under the Terrorism Act and will appear in court next month, Scotland Yard said.

Ayfer Yildiz, 45, from St John’s Wood, north-west London, was charged with two counts of encouraging others to commit a terrorist offence.

In a separate prosecution, Alaettin Kalender, 50, from Hackney, east London, was charged with possessing information useful for terrorist purposes.

Yildiz is said in January to have distributed two editions of a magazine named Yürüyüş, which is believed to glorify acts of terrorism in Turkey, and the charges against her allege that by doing so she encouraged the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

The charges do not relate to Syria, the Met said.



Both have been bailed to appear at Westminster magistrates court on 4 October.
