After China lifted its hold on a joint proposal by India and the US, the UN declared Abdul Rehman Makki as global terrorist.
The United Nations has labelled Abdul Rehman Makki, the deputy leader of Pakistan's terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), as a global terrorist, exposing him to an asset freeze, travel ban, and arms trade restrictions. After China lifted its hold on a joint proposal by India and the US, the UN Security Council's 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee decided to add 68-year-old Makki on Monday.
Who is Abdul Rehman Makki?
The deputy leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba is Abdul Rehman Makki. Additionally, he is in charge of Jamaad-ud-Dawa, the political branch of the Lashkar. He has also served as the division's director of international relations. He is the brother-in-law of JUD/LeT Chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and son of Hafiz Abdullah Bahawalpuri.
Abdul Rehman Makki has also been declared wanted by the Indian government. The terrorist recruiter and investor Abdul Rehman Makki is well-known for radicalising young people into violence and plotting attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. Makki has held executive positions in Lashkar and Jamaat-ud-Dawa, according to the UN. In this instance, Makki has also been implicated in major attacks in India, along with Hafiz Saeed.
Makki was placed under house arrest in Lahore after being detained by the Pakistani government on May 15, 2019. Makki was found guilty of sponsoring terrorism in 2020 and given a prison term by a Pakistani court.
