He was arrested at the age of 15 (in 2002) and has done a plea bargain on charges that involved conspiring to commit terrorist acts and murdering US soldiers.
They say he will only be in prison for 8 years of the 40 year sentence, but if he was arrested in 2002m, that means 8 years have passed... do they mean 8 more years?
MI5 knew that Binyam Mohamed, the former Guantanamo detainee, was being tortured by the CIA, a Court of Appeal judgment has revealed.
Evidence held by the Foreign Office, which had until now been kept secret, shows that the Security Service was aware that Mr Mohamed was deprived of sleep, "shackled" during interrogation and threatened with the idea that he might "disappear".
MI5 has also been accused of feeding questions to Mr Mohamed's interrogators, leading to accusations that it was “complicit†in his torture.

One of the youngest detainees at the US detention centre in Guantanamo Bay has been released and sent home to his native Afghanistan, his lawyers say.
They said Mohammed Jawad was detained at 12 in 2002 and is now 19, although the Pentagon disputed his age.
Mr Jawad had been accused of injuring two US soldiers and their interpreter by throwing a grenade at their vehicle.
Much of the case against him had been ruled inadmissible by a US military judge in 2008.
Closure pledge
Mr Jawad's release was ordered last month by US District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle, who described the US government's case against him as "an outrage" that was "riddled with holes".
