In his amended motion to travel, Misuari said that his intended travel will be for the pilgrimage to the holy land of Mecca, where he will fast in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, both in Saudi Arabia.
“That he is a devout Muslim, a political and religious leader looked upon by his people as a role model in observing the teachings of the Holy Quran and in observing the five pillars of Islam among them making a pilgrimage to the holy land of Mecca,” the motion read.
“That he is most desirous of further strengthening his faith by attending the holy activity which he considers to be obligatory,” it added.
Misuari is facing two graft and two malversation through falsification charges in relation to the reportedly anomalous purchase of different educational packages and materials from 2000 to 2001.
