Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera who is in Qatar on an official visit said today that Sri Lanka has decided to lift the ban imposed on the Qatar Charity.

"Met the Officials of the Qatar Charity yesterday. Conveyed the message that the Defense Ministry has informed the Attorney General its decision to lift the ban on the fund which was imposed in 2019. Discussed the Charity’s work in Sri Lanka and globally," he tweeted.

Qatar Charity is the main charitable arm of the Qatar Government and it has a registered office in Sri Lanka.

Earlier, during the case against lawyer Hijaz Hizbullah, the CID informed the Court that "Qatar Charity" is a terrorist funding organisation and said that offences relating to funding terrorism were being probed by them.(DSB)

Hisbullah has the last laugh. Rajapaksha's misused anti terror laws to settle personal political scores. Thus the anti terror laws jave become untenable and in need of repeal. They distanced friends like quatar and Japan and trusted China too much. Now they eat humble pie and swallow their own excretion!

Until Gota and Ranil steps down, Sri Lanka will not get any help globally in future.

That means our CID has framed the case. How many innocents still in remand, their money confiscated and went into their pocket.

Kanchana from Qatar says Sri Lanka has decided to lift the ban ? How was the decision made in Qatar?

Don’t give to shitlanken Gota harakpaksha and family. Gnansaraya should be in jail for aluthgama murders.
