A hate mob of Islamist extremists has been banned from burning items such as flags in public places after a rally to convert non-believers descended into violence.
The men, who are all followers of hate preacher Anjem Choudary, were handed an Asbo which also means they cannot join him on demonstrations or street stalls.
The court order was imposed after violence broke out in London's Edgware Road during an unauthorised protest organised by Choudary calling for jihad in Syria in May 2013.
Two men who were beaten to the ground with placards, flagpoles and a wooden stick were told: "This is what is going to happen to all Shia".
Around a week later, nine of the men then took part attacking a football fan as they ran an extremist Islamist stall on Oxford Street, London, haranguing shoppers.
Following the attack the men began shouting “**** the Queen”.
Last June, all ten, from Luton, were jailed at the Old Bailey for their part in the violence although Abu Aziz, 32, and surgeon Mirza Ali, 40, were tried in their absence after it was believed they fled to Syria.
Following a hearing at the Old Bailey on Friday, the group have now been banned from taking part in marches which had banners or flags, preaching from stalls set up in the street, meeting each other or gathering in groups of four or more for three years to protect the public from violence.
They are also banned from burning items other than for smoking or to keep warm. The orders last for three years.
The men are Ali, Aziz, Jordan Horner, 31, Kamran Khan, 30, Mohan Uddin, 37, Munim Abdul, 33, Jalal Ahmed, 26, Yousaf Bashir, 34, Moshiur Rahman, 33, Qadeer Ahmed, 30, Naseer Khan, 30, and Mohammed Alamgir, 35.
Judge Paul Worsley said: “They have demonstrated by their conduct in May 2013 that they are prepared to behave in a way that is wholly unacceptable that involved or the threat of violence to members of the public who were going about their day to day business on a busy London street.
"I'm entirely satisfied that an order to limit the conduct of these defendants is appropriate in each case.”
