Anjem Choudary Accused of Leading Banned Terrorist Group

Court hears that Choudary directed Al-Muhajiroun and supported its North American branch through online lectures.

Anjem Choudary, 57, faces charges of directing and being a member of the banned group Al-Muhajiroun.
Prosecutors allege Choudary continued his activities even after being released from prison in 2018.
Choudary is accused of delivering lectures to the Islamic Thinkers Society, linked to Al-Muhajiroun in North America.
Co-defendant Khaled Hussein, a Canadian national, is charged with being a member of the banned organisation.
Both men deny the charges, with the trial ongoing at Woolwich Crown Court.
