British Islamist preacher, Anjem Choudary who was jailed in 2016 for inviting support for ISIS has been released from prison.
The 51-year-old self-styled cleric was let out of the high-security Belmarsh prison in southeast London on Friday morning.
He will be subject to a strict supervision regime, and it is thought he will go into a probation hostel instead of going home to his wife and family in the east London suburb of Ilford. Police and the MI5 security service are expected to be among a host of agencies involved in monitoring him in the community.He will also be subject to a package of restrictions including the obligation to have all travel plans approved, electronic tagging, a nighttime curfew and a requirement to stay within a set area.
He will be able to attend only certain mosques and will be banned from contacting individuals who are known or believed to have been charged with or convicted of extremist-related offenses without prior approval.
Choudary, who used his Twitter handle to gain attention, will also be banned from social media. His name has been added to a United Nations sanctions list, which means he is subject to an assets freeze and travel ban.
