Charges Muslim cleric Hamza faces
Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri faces 15 charges alleged to have been committed before May 2004 when he was imam at the North London Central Mosque, in Finsbury Park.
They are:
- Nine charges brought under the Offences Against the Person Act, alleging he solicited others at public meetings to murder Jews and other non-Muslims
- Four charges, brought under the Public Order Act, claim he used "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention of stirring up racial hatred"
- Another charge alleges possession of video and audio recordings, which he intended to distribute to stir up racial hatred
- A charge under section 58 of the Terrorism Act accuses him of possessing the Encyclopaedia of Afghani Jihad, which contained information "of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism"
Mr Abu Hamza denies all the charges.
