In a bizarre turn of events in the case against Hejaaz Hizbullah<\/span><\/a>, the Criminal Investigations Department yesterday informed the Fort Magistrates Court that ‘Qatar Charity’ was a terrorist entity and had funded the construction of a building in Putthalam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lawyer Hejaaz\u00a0Hizbullah<\/p><\/div>\n

Qatar Charity is the main charitable arm of the Qatar Government. As late as June 2020, the Qatar Charity embarked on a partnership with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) donating 2 Million USD to the agency.<\/p>\n

The Charity works closely with the United Nations and the UNICEF among other international entities.<\/p>\n

Counsel for Hizbullah yesterday pointed out that they are not aware of the veracity of the claim but that it was laughable that the CID had named a reputed international humanitarian agency as a Terror outfit in order to frame Hizbullah.<\/p>\n

They said that ‘Qatar Charity’ works closely with the Sri Lankan government and had even during the Covid-19 pandemic worked with the Lankan embassy in Qatar in providing relief.<\/p>\n

The Counsel said that the naming of ‘Qatar Charity’ as a terror entity was an absolute evidence that the entire case was a fabrication from the beginning. They said that the Criminal Investigations Department had forced young children into confessions after taking them alone without parents for 3 consecutive days – in order to frame the famed Human Rights Lawyer.<\/p>\n

Earlier, it was revealed that the Criminal Investigations Department had picked up 8 to 13 year children from low income families who were provided scholarships and forced them into confessions.<\/p>\n

The Fort Magistrate Ranga Dissanayake made orders after ‘confessions’ made to him in his chamber were leaked to the media the very night the confessions were made.<\/p>\n

The Counsel told the court at the time that the CID had written the statements for the children and had leaked it to the media.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Dissanayake also told open court that officers of the CID had attempted to show pictures to the children whilst in his chamber and he had to ‘chase them out’.<\/p>\n

The Magistrate ordered an investigation as to how the confessions were leaked to the media.<\/p>\n

The naming of Qatar Charity is seen as an escalation of attempts to frame Hizbullah. Qatar Charity has a registered office in Sri Lanka with staff employed none of whom have even been questioned or arrested, despite the CID naming it as a Terrorist outfit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
