Anjem Choudary, the Islamist hate preacher, has been told he is not welcome at scores of mosques across London following his release from prison, the Telegraph can reveal.

The 51-year-old, who was freed from jail, is only permitted to attend a single place of worship that has been approved by officials from the Ministry of Justice.

Choudary was asked to submit a list of mosques he wished to visit, but when they were approached by the authorities asking if they objected to him attending, many of the imams said he would not be welcome.

Other mosques in the capital also contacted officials ahead of his release to say they did not want him turning up at their premises.
