Choudary convicted of having ‘caretaker role’ in al-Muhajiroun and drumming up support online
The Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been found guilty of directing the terrorist group al-Muhajiroun (ALM) and drumming up cross-border support for the banned organisation online.
After a trial at Woolwich crown court in south London, Choudary was convicted of having a “caretaker role” in directing ALM.
Prosecutors said Choudary directed the terrorist organisation for a significant period of time from 2014 onwards and encouraged support for the group by addressing online meetings of the New York-based Islamic Thinkers Society (ITS).
The 57-year-old, of Ilford in east London, gave lectures to ITS, which prosecutors said was “the same” as ALM.
