Radical cleric Anjem Choudary is one of two men charged with inviting support for Islamic State, Scotland Yard says.
In a hearing today at Westminster magistrates court, both Choudary and Mohammed Mizanur Rahman were remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey later this month.
Anjem Choudary, the radical Islamic preacher, has been remanded in custody at Westminster magistrates court.
He appeared in court alongside another man, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, who were both charged with inviting support for Islamic State.
Choudary gave a 20-minute speech from the dock protesting his innocence during the hearing, and both defendants refused to stand when Chief magistrate Howard Riddle left the court.
Rahman was also remanded in custody and the two men are set to appear at the Old Bailey on August 28.
