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.
Radical cleric Anjem Choudary has been charged with inviting support for Islamic State, a proscribed terrorist organisation, Scotland Yard said.
The 48-year-old, from Ilford, northeast London, was charged along with 32-year-old Mohammed Rahman, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
Both men have been on bail since September, when they were arrested by the Met's Counter-Terrorism unit on suspicion of being members of the "proscribed organisation".
The Crown Prosecution Service said: "It is alleged that Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Rahman invited support for ISIS in individual lectures which were subsequently published online."
They are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court this afternoon.
