Pakistan puts Hafiz Saeed on Exit Control List after house arrest

Date:

Pakistan has placed Jamaat-ud- Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed’s name on the Exit Control List, two days after the Mumbai terror attack mastermind and his four aides were put under house arrest.

The Interior ministry has forwarded a letter to all provincial governments and the Federal Investigation Agency, which included names of 38 individuals placed on the list, preventing them from leaving the country. All of them were said to be linked with JuD or Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The ministry had “placed Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) and Jamaat-Ud-Dawa (JUD) on the Watch List as per UNSC 1267 Sanctions and have listed these organisations in the Second Schedule of the ATA 1997 (as amended).”

“As such, they must be placed under preventive detention,” it added.

Saeed has been placed under a 90-day house arrest. There have been reports that Islamabad has immense pressure from new US administration to take action against Saeed and his organisations.

Saeed was also put under house arrest after Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008 but he was freed by court in 2009.
