Anjem Choudary denies directing a terrorism organisation, and being a member of and supporting a banned group
Giving evidence, he said: "If you ask about Kevin Keegan, people say ‘he plays football for Liverpool'. People look at me and think Al Muhajiroun.” He told the jury he was one of the original three members of ALM, which was founded in 1996 after his mentor Omar Bakri Mohammed left another Islamist group called Hizb-ut-Tahrir.
The prosecution says Mr Choudary was still acting as the effective leader of ALM as late as July 2023, making online speeches to an offshoot in America called the Islamic Thinkers Society .
