A RADICAL hate preacher who swore allegiance to ISIS and encouraged people to travel to Syria has been convicted.

Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, of North Circular Road, Palmers Green, faces up to ten years behind bars.

The 33-year-old was convicted in July along with notorious Anjem Choudary, but details of the trial could only be reported today.

He was found guilty alongside notorious Anjem Choudhary, 49, of Hampton Road, Ilford.

The pair told their supporters to obey Abu Bakr al-Baghhdadi, the Isis leader, and travel to Syria to support the 'caliphate'.

Choudary and Rahman were arrested by officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command in September 2014.

Commander Dean Haydon, Head of the MPS Counter Terrorism Command said: "These men have stayed just within the law for many years, but there is no one within the counter terrorism world that has any doubts of the influence that they have had, the hate they have spread and the people that they have encouraged to join terrorist organisations.

"Over and over again we have seen people on trial for the most serious offences who have attended lectures or speeches given by these men.

"The oath of allegiance was a turning point for the police - at last we had the evidence that they had stepped over the line and we could prove they supported ISIS.

"During the course of the investigation 20 years worth of material was considered, with over 333 electronic devices containing 12.1 terabytes of storage data assessed and evidence identified to support the prosecution case at court.

“Our well established international contacts ensured that we were able to obtain key evidence from the Indonesian authorities to prove that Choudary and Rahman were key in the publication of their oath of allegiance.”

Choudary and Rahman will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on September 6.
