Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years after being found guilty of running a banned terrorist organisation.
Choudary, 57, who counter-terror police say has had a “radicalising impact” on terrorists, was convicted last week of taking a “caretaker role” in directing Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) while its founder was in jail.
He was also found guilty of encouraging support for the group through online lectures to the Islamic Thinkers Society, which prosecutors said was another name for ALM.
