Does Anjem Choudary case raise free speech issues? #BBCNolan

He's one of the UK's most notorious radical clerics and now Anjem Choudary has been jailed for five-and-a-half years. That was for inviting support for the so-called Islamic State group. The 49-year-old was convicted at the Old Bailey after backing the group in an oath of allegiance published online. Police say Choudary's followers carried out attacks in the UK and abroad.

But for some this has been an infringement of free speech. The online magazine spiked says "He's repulsive, but he shouldn't be sent to prison."
