The court heard Ajazi was a "prolific" user of social media and during this time he made a number of posts about the execution of prisoners who were captured during battle.

Mr Power said these conflicts were "cruel" in nature and resulted in hundreds of deaths. The Supreme Court heard Ajazi travelled to Türkiye with his family in mid-2013, and then used that country as a base to "go back and forth" across the border into Syria from early 2014.Ĭrown prosecutor Ben Power KC told the court he was an infantry soldier who actively engaged in "extremely vicious" battles against the Syrian government and its allies for two years.
