19 HOURS AGO BY AGENCIES
Anjem Choudary, one of Britain’s most high-profile Muslim preachers and known globally for praising the men responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States and the July 7 2005 London bombings was charged on Wednesday with inviting support for Islamic State (IS).
Choudary, 48, was accused of using lectures, which were published online, for encouraging support for the banned organisation, which has seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq.
“Following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command, we have today authorised charges against Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Mizanur Rahman,” said Sue Hemming, Head of Special Crime and Counter Terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service.
“It is alleged that Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Rahman invited support for (IS) in individual lectures which were subsequently published online.”
While he was born in the UK, Choudary is of Pakistani descent.
“Between June 29 2014, and March 6, 2015, invited support for a proscribed terrorist organisation, namely ISIL, also known as ISIS or the Islamic State, contrary to section 12 Terrorism Act 2000,” his charges read.
Both men were arrested on September 25 last year on suspicion of being members of a proscribed organisation and released on police bail.
They were detained again pending a formal charging hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court in London later on Wednesday.
