An Edmonton man arrested in a terrorism investigation in the United Kingdom appeared Monday in a London court.

Khaled Hussein, who is 28, was charged under the Terrorism Act for allegedly being a member of a proscribed organization in the U.K.

He was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport last week.

Hussein is charged alongside a 56-year-old British preacher, Anjem Choudary, who was allegedly directing a terrorist organization and addressing meetings to encourage support for a radical group since June 2022.

Prosecutors say the Edmontonian worked online with Choudary to provide a platform for the views of the radical group al-Muhajiroun.

London Metropolitan Police say both men have been remanded in custody and their next scheduled court appearance on Aug. 4.
