Al-Bader activists sentenced to five years
An anti-terrorism court on Thursday gave five years imprisonment to three activists of a jihadi organisation for collecting donations for jihad. An Al-Bader leader requesting anonymity told Daily Times that Syed Khalid Raza, Abdus Salam and Shakirullah were arrested on Nov 22 last year in front of Masjid-i-Quba in Gulshan-i-Iqbal Block-7 where they were collecting donations. He said that Khalid Raza was the nazim of the Al-Bader Sindh chapter and was also the editor of the organisationâs monthly magazine Al-Bader. âOnce Mr Raza was an active worker of the Islami Jamiat Tulaba and Jamaat-e-Islami but when Al-Bader parted ways with the Jamaat-e-Islami he remained active on the Pasban platform,â he said. The source said that Mr Shakirullah was also associated with the monthly Al-Bader and was arrested near the organisationâs office. He said that Mr Shakirullah regularly prayed in Masjid-e-Quba and also delivered jihadi sermonsPosted by: Paul Moloney 2004-03-06 |
