The special court in Delhi had convicted Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik on May 19 after Yasin had pleaded guilty to all the charges including the ones under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Following the charges, the court directed Yasin to disclose all the sources of his income and declare all his assets by filing an affidavit.
The court also asked India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) to find out about Yasin's financial situation, so that it could decide the amount of fine to impose on him
Yasin had refused to accept the charges, including Section 16 (terrorist act), Section 17 (raising funds for a terrorist act), Section 18 (conspiracy to commit a terrorist act) and Section 20 (being a member of a terrorist gang or organization) of the UAPA and Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 124-A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code.
The court had said that Yasin "had set up an elaborate structure and mechanism across the world to raise funds for carrying out terrorist and other unlawful activities in Jammu and Kashmir in the name of the 'freedom struggle'."
