Someone understand the word SOVEREIGN:Taliban warn lawyers against appearing in ‘un-Islamic’ courts
ALPURI: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) warned Shangla district lawyers on Tuesday of serious consequences if they continued to appear in un-Islamic courts (civil and district courts) from today (Wednesday).
Gee, anyone wonder what that means?
"Lawyers are warned through this notice not to appear before civil and district courts," a member of Shangla District Bar Association (SDBA) quoted the letter as saying.
The lawyers have suspended a bar election scheduled for April 30 due to the letter, he said on condition of anonymity.
These would be the same lawyers rioting over the perceived unfairness to the Pakistani supreme court justice? Clearly threats from the Taliban are taken a bit more seriously.
He said the lawyers' association had informed the district police officer and the Shangla district and sessions judge of the warning.
On Tuesday, the Taliban allegedly kidnapped the Puran tehsil naib nazim and four others from Jambal area.
Around 70 armed Taliban have also occupied the basic health unit in the area.
