Radical preacher Anjem Choudary was released from prison on Friday after serving half of his sentence for urging support to the militant Islamic State group and pledging allegiance to it.
Choudary, 51, who was a key figure for a succession of extremist Islamist groups, emerged early morning from Belmarsh prison in southeast London. The 51-year-old former lawyer of Pakistani descent was sentenced in 2016 to five-and-a-half years in prison.
