Pak activist condemns Saeeds release,calls him 8216;terrorist8217;

8220;He was not in prison like other criminals or terrorists but was living in his own house and was allowed to meet whoever he liked to meet,8221; he said in a statement.

Saeed also met journalists during his 8220;so-called detention,8221; Burney said.

The Lahore High Court accepted Saeed8217;s petition challenging his detention and ordered his immediate release. Saeed and numerous other top JuD leaders were detained in December last year after the UN Security Council designated his group as a front organisation for the banned LeT.

Burney also condemned what he described as the 8220;hypocrisy and dual face8221; of Pakistan8217;s political leadership in the government and opposition for failing to prevent the release on bail of former Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Aziz.

He said Aziz was a 8220;terrorist involved in heinous crimes against humanity.8221;
