UK: British-Pakistani preacher sentenced to life imprisonment, accused of running a terrorist organization

British-Pakistani preacher Anjem Choudhry has been sentenced to life imprisonment for directing a terrorist organisation. Let us tell you that 57-year-old Anjem Choudhry was convicted last week for directing Al-Muhajiroun (ALM). ALM was banned a decade ago.
Judge Mark Wall announced a life sentence for the British-Pakistani preacher, with a minimum term of 28 years. Accordingly, he will not be able to get parole before 28 years. The judge told Chaudhary at Woolwich Crown Court in London that organizations like ALM normalize violence through online meetings.

The judge further said about the organization, “Their purpose is to discourage those who are their members from acting. They create divisions between people who live in unity among themselves and who could and will live together in peaceful coexistence.” According to prosecutor Tom Little, after the organization's leader was jailed in Lebanon in 2014, Anjem Choudhry became the caretaker emir of this organization.
Police collected evidence after joint investigation
Police from Britain, the United States and Canada gathered evidence following a joint investigation. According to the evidence, Choudhry was running and directing ALM in New York through online discourses with followers based in New York. Prosecutors said the group operated under several names, including the New York-based Islamic Thinkers Society.
