The extreme cleric has been convicted of inviting support for the terror group Islamic State in a series of lectures released on YouTube.
Media agencies had been unable to report his conviction until today after a judge imposed a reporting ban due to a linked trial of Choudary's associates from Luton, who were also accused of encouraging support for IS.
The jury took less than three days to find Choudary and his co-accused Mizanur Rahman (32) unanimously guilty of inviting support for a terrorist organisation. He will be sentenced at the Old Bailey in September.
