Two British Islamist extremists who were deported to the UK after being detained in Hungary have been charged with breaching a travel ban.
Trevor Brooks, a preacher who is also known as Abu Izzadeen, and Simon Keeler were discovered on a train heading to Romania on 14 November and have now been returned to the UK, Scotland Yard has said.
Brooks, 40, and Keeler, 44, have been charged with breaches of notification requirements under part 4 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008. Both men were jailed for terrorism offences in 2008.
The pair were due to appear at Westminster magistrates court in London on Friday.
Last week a court in Budapest ruled that the men should be deported to Britain based on a European arrest warrant because they had allegedly left their homeland without notifying the authorities.
At the hearings in the Hungarian capital, Keeler, from Shadwell, east London, said he was trying to reach his wife and children in Turkey. Brooks, from Clapton, east London, said he wanted to return to Britain.
Brooks was born in Britain to Christian parents of Jamaican origin. He converted to Islam at the age of 17 along with one of his brothers and changed his name.
Keeler, a former builder, is also a convert and is originally from Crawley, West Sussex.
