Pakistan court sentences Hafiz Saeed to 10-years jail term in illegal funding case

Lahore/IBNS: A Pakistan court here on Thursday sentenced "global terrorist" Hafiz Saeed to 10 years of imprisonment for his involvement in an illegal funding case, media reports said.

The judgement was passed by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC).

Saeed, the chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) which is a front organisation of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has also been fined Rs. 1,10,000 by the court.

The ATC has ordered the confiscation of his properties.

His two aides- Zafar Iqbal and Yahya Mujahid- have been sentenced to ten-and-a-half years of imprisonment each while his brother-in-law Abdul Rehman Makki has been sentenced to a six-month jail term.

Saeed, the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, and his aides were in February this year sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment for terror financing.

The JuD chief was arrested in Pakistan in July, 2019 on charge of terror financing following the build up of an international pressure on Pakistan.

Saeed, who is recognised as the "global terrorist" by the United Nations and the US, led the Mumbai attack in India in 2008 killing 166 people and injured hundreds more.
