British preacher Anjem Choudary, 57, has been sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in directing a terrorist group. The sentencing comes after Choudary was found guilty of being a member of the banned organization al-Muhajiroun, also known as ALM, and for actively promoting the group's extremist ideologies.
Choudary was described by Justice Mark Wall as being at the forefront of running a terrorist organization that actively recruited and radicalized young men. ALM was outlawed by the British government in 2010 due to its involvement in terrorist activities.
