(Daily Star) Mohammed Istiak Alamgir, 36, Ziaur Rahman, 38, Yousaf Bashir, 35, and Rajib Khan, 37, were all arrested by counter-terrorist police in the Bedfordshire town on 2 December.
They have now been charged with a series of offences relating to meetings in the town in June and July which were allegedly rallying calls for ISIS.
ISIS is a proscribed - or banned - organisation in the UK.
Alamgir has been charged with addressing four meetings “to encourage support for a proscribed organisation, namely Islamic State, or to further its activities”.
Rahman was charged with three offences of arranging meetings which were designed to support ISIS.
Bashar has been charged with addressing one meeting, on 29 June, which was allegedly in support of ISIS.
Khan was charged with arranging and addressing a pro-ISIS meeting on 11 July.
All four men are from Luton and have been remanded in custody to appear tomorrow (Wednesday) at Westminster magistrates’ court.
Police searched seven houses and a number of cars in Luton during the operation.
