Sadiq Khan has admitted representing “unsavoury individuals” as a human rights lawyer after facing questions over alleged links to extremists.
Labour’s mayoral hopeful claimed the views of some of the individuals he had represented during his legal career had made him feel “deeply uncomfortable”.
Among those he has defended were Louis Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, when he tried unsuccessfully to visit the UK.
He also campaigned to prevent the extradition to the US of Babar Ahmed who later pleaded guilty to terrorist offences.
