British Radical Preacher Anjem Choudary Sentenced to Life for Terror Activities

Radical Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 28 years for directing the terrorist organisation al-Muhajiroun. Convicted of promoting violence and encouraging support for the banned group, Choudary's actions have resulted in numerous global plots. He was sentenced at London's Woolwich Crown Court.

British radical Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 28 years for leading a terrorist organisation.

The 57-year-old was convicted last week for directing al-Muhajiroun, a group banned over a decade ago, and encouraging support for it. Judge Mark Wall, speaking at London's Woolwich Crown Court, stated that such organisations normalize violence for ideological causes.

The judge imposed the life sentence, with Choudary required to serve at least 28 years before being eligible for parole, minus the year he has already spent in custody.
