Anjem Choudary Pleads Not Guilty to Terrorism Charges

The high-profile Islamist preacher faces trial in June for his alleged involvement with the banned group al-Muhajiroun.

Anjem Choudary, a radical British preacher, pleaded not guilty to two terrorism-related charges in a London court.
Choudary is accused of membership in al-Muhajiroun, a group banned in 2010 for terrorism-related activities, and encouraging support for the group.
The trial, set for June 4 at Kingston Crown Court, is expected to last up to two months and will also involve Khaled Hussein, who pleaded not guilty to membership in al-Muhajiroun.
Both Choudary and Hussein appeared by video link from separate jails for the court proceedings.
A further hearing for Choudary and Hussein is scheduled for April 23 at the Old Bailey, ahead of their June trial.
