A convicted terrorist organiser, who has refused to tell an inquiry about his contact with the Manchester Arena bomber, is to be released from jail.
Abdalraouf Abdallah, 27, was jailed in 2016 after being found guilty of helping people travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group.
The Manchester Arena Inquiry heard he was in touch with bomber Salman Abedi in the months leading up to the attack.
The BBC understands he will be released on licence later this week.
A source said his licence conditions would be among the strictest imposed on a released prisoner.
The Manchester Arena Inquiry, which is investigating all aspects of the attack carried out by Salman Abedi in May 2017 that killed 22 people, has heard that Abdallah is a "witness with important evidence to give".
But, when interviewed in prison this summer by inquiry lawyers, Abdallah refused to answer any questions in case he incriminated himself.
Abdallah, who moved to the UK as a child and grew up in south Manchester, was paralysed from the waist down while fighting in the Libyan revolution of 2011.
In July 2016 he was jailed for five years and six months, having been convicted following a trial, but time spent on remand and on curfew at home means that his custodial sentence expires this week.
When released, he will spend a further four years on licence.
The Arena inquiry has heard that when Abdallah had been arrested in 2014, his phone contained correspondence with Abedi about suicide, martyrdom - including the death of a senior al-Qaeda figure - and "maidens of paradise".
It is understood that Abdallah's licence conditions will be similar to those imposed on the hate preacher Anjem Choudary, who was released on licence two years ago.

Crazy stuff.
Britain, like much of the West has given in to the orks. What the ruling elites started, demographics will finish. Whilst dinks, hipsters and yuppies play with their gadgets, sip lattes and down their boutique ales, pat their pampered pooches the barbarians are plotting to finish the West off
the left LOVE LOVE LOVE any group out to destroy Western Civilization.
Muslim extremists, ANTIFA, BLM, are just the new trendy ones.

BRAVO. Perfect post. Something about these loons though makes them think they’d willingly give their lives for their cult of “wokeness” ie..neo Maoist crap.
It’s almost like they have a masochistic drive to be destroyed. It gets them off knowing they’re sell outs.
makes ME* think
Good term for them.
I'm wondering why public officials assert that they (and their families) have been threatened, apparently enough to influence their public duties. I'm thinking of the GSA chief and the Michigan canvasser specifically.
They have both described these threats in public statements.
Where are law enforcement officials? Where are their public responses? Where are the investigations and arrests? Where are the FBI and DoJ? Has law enforcement completely gone to the mat for the neo-Maoists?
Not crazy.
This is the truth of what they want.
