The lone survivor from the gang of terrorists that killed 130 people in the November 2015 Paris attacks has been handed a life sentence.
A French court found Salah Abdeslam guilty of terrorism and murder charges on Wednesday, with no possibility of an early release.
It is the harshest possible criminal sentence in the country and it has only ever been handed out four times before.
Guilty verdicts were also returned for 19 other men who helped orchestrate the attacks on the Bataclan music hall, six bars and restaurants and the Stade de France sports stadium on November 13, 2015.
Reacting to the sentencing, the French capital's mayor Anne Hidalgo said "justice has been served".
She said: "Against inhumanity, it's our democracy's strength to respond with justice to the attacks that plunged our city and our country in mourning. Paris remembers and will always stand by the victims and their families."
Arthur Denouveaux, who survived the Bataclan attack - in which 90 people were killed - and now heads up a victims' association, described it as a "fair ruling" that will help his fellow survivors but added: "It's not healing everything."
Abdeslam said at the beginning of the trial that he was a "soldier" of the so-called Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for the atrocity.
He later apologised to the victims and told the trial he had decided at the last minute against setting off his explosive vest.
But judge Jean-Louis Peries said that, based on the investigations and hearings, the court ruled that the device malfunctioned.
The ruling can be appealed, and some of Abdeslam's lawyers had hinted that they would do so.
Thirteen other defendants, 10 of whom were also in custody, were found guilty of crimes ranging from helping supply the attackers with weapons or cars to planning to participate in the attack.
Six more, tried in absentia and believed to be dead, were also found guilty.
Some of those judged in absentia were also sentenced to life in prison, including Mohamed Abrini, who was intended to be the 10th member of the squad until he pulled out a few days before the attacks.
Unlike Abdeslam, Abrini will be eligible for early release after 22 years.
The other defendants were handed shorter prison sentences. A number of them will not return to jail because the time spent in preventive custody will be subtracted from their term.
