Saeed was arrested by the Pakistan government in July last year, following immense pressure from global powers and facing the prospect of a FATF blacklist.

Hafiz Saeed's bank accounts are frozen by the Pakistani government complying with the UNSC resolution. Pakistan had requested the UN to let Hafiz Saeed withdraw PKR 1,50,000 (approximately $1,000) to cover necessary basic living expenses for him and his family.

The anti-terror UAPA Amendment Bill 2019 was recently passed by the Indian Parliament.
