Pakistan court frees JuD chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed

Islamabad, Nov 22 (IBNS): in a major development, a review board, comprising judges of the Lahore High Court, refused to extend the detention of  Jamaatud Dawa’s (JuD) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, media reports said on Wednesday.

The current house arrest of the JuD chief is scheduled to end on Nov 24.

The review board under the chair of Justice Abdul Sami Khan passed these orders after a senior finance ministry official failed to convince the board that the release of Saeed would bring diplomatic and financial problems to the country, Dawn News reported.

Saeed had been put under house arrest since Jan 31.

He was initially put under house arrest for 90 days but the period was later extended more than one time.

Saeed is suspected of masterminding the attack Mumbai in 2008 that killed 166 people.
