Armed militants roam in Buner, shut-down courts
2009-04-23
[Geo News] District courts in Buner have been shut down by force while all the records from the courts have been removed. According to sources, TNSM Amir Maulana Sufi Muhammad had given a deadline of April 23 for appointment of Qazis after removing judges besides setting up of Darul Qaza. This has led to the closure of the district courts, sources added. Some of the Taliban had visited the courts and they said that these courts will be shut down tomorrow, sources said. But the Taliban leaders have denied issuing any orders in this regard. They further said that they are only on a visiting mission in response to an invitation. They said the government and Maulana Sufi Muhammad have reached a pact on a judicial matter and that they will continue to stick to the orders of Sufi Muhammad.
