An anti-terrorism court on Friday awarded a combined sentence of 33 years imprisonment to Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed in two cases of terror financing.
The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) had registered two cases against the JuD leader.
In one of the cases, the court awarded five-year imprisonment each under sections 11-H (2), 11-I, 11-J(2), and 18 months jail under section 11-F(2) of the ATA.
In the other case, the court awarded a five-year sentence each under sections 11-N, 11-I, 11-J(2) and an 18-month jail term under section 11-F(6) of the ATA.
The court imposed a collective fine of Rs340,000 on Hafiz Saeed in both cases. All the sentences will run concurrently.
Several leaders of the JuD, including Hafiz Saeed, are already under detention since July 2019. They had been convicted on the basis of FIRs registered by the CTD on charges of terror finÂaÂncing. Trial proceedings in several others are pending.
