Anjem Choudary, the leader of the banned terror group Al-Muhajiroun, has been jailed for life and may never leave prison alive.
He was found guilty of directing the group and encouraging support for it through online meetings
The sentence means that Choudary cannot seek to leave jail on licence until he is more than 85 years old.
Choudary appeared shocked and rocked on his feet in the dock as he was given a minimum term of 28 years at Woolwich Crown Court.
The extremist preacher was convicted last week of directing a terror organisation after a complex operation involving detectives and investigators in the US, Canada and the UK.
Mr Justice Wall said Choudary’s group was a radical organisation that intended to spread sharia law, by violent means, to as much of the world as possible.
Choudary, one of the most important radicalisers in the UK, was caught after an international undercover investigation proved that the long-banned al-Muhajiroun network that he headed was still operating in 2021 - and trying to recruit new followers under a false name in North America.
Al-Muhajiroun, which emerged in the late 1990s, has been linked to dozens of acts of terrorism with followers committing acts of violence both at home and abroad.
Choudary has been at the heart of the organisation since its earliest days and became leader in 2014 after its founder was jailed in Lebanon.

How is this different from any islamic preacher?
“Mr Justice Wall said Choudary’s group was a radical organisation that intended to spread sharia law, by violent means, to as much of the world as possible.”
the only real life sentence is execution
“Mr.Justice Wall”??
It’s not enough.
So why do others have to pay for his incarceration (3 hots and a cot plus medical) for years and years? Give him a 5.56 headache and be done with it.
They will trade him in a hostage swap.
A life sentence seems like a massive waste of resources.
An AK round in the back of the head would be a lot cheaper.
“Mr.Justice Wall”?
They finally got this raghead, he has been making trouble for a long time.
