Hate preacher Choudary appeals against life term

Rabble-rouser radicalised Rigby killers

- DAN WARBURTON

FIREBRAND preacher Anjem Choudary is appealing against a life term which could see him die in jail.

Choudary, 57, who radicalised Islamist extremists including the killers of soldier Lee Rigby, was imprisoned for a minimum of 28 years in July for secretly running a banned terror group.

He has lodged an appeal at the High Court to try to quash the sentence and conviction.

His latest legal battle could last years and reach the European Court of Human Rights.

Choudary, of Ilford, East London, was convicted of directing Al-Muhajiroun (ALM), banned in 2006.
