A FATHER charged with funding terrorism for sending £150 to a son who is fighting jihadists in Syria pleaded not guilty today at Westminster magistrates’ court. 

Paul Newey was arrested at his home in Solihull in December, along with his youngest son, Sam, under the Terrorism Act. 

The pair were charged in relation to Mr Newey’s elder son Dan, who travelled to north-eastern Syria in 2017 to join the Peoples’ Protection Units (YPG), a Kurdish-led force spearheading the Western-backed campaign against the Isis death cult.
