Three clerics to be detained under MPO
2014-11-03
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: The capital police requested Islamabad Chief Commisioner to detain three Ulema for next the four days under Section 3 of the MPO (Maintenance of Public Order-Power to arrest and detain suspected persons) here on Saturday, officials of capital administration and police told Dawn.

The officials said that two of the Ulema are from the Sunni sect while one is Shia. The three Ulema are considered to be a threat to peace during Muharram as it is feared that they may incite disturbance of law and order.

"Reply from the chief commissioner office is awaited," the officials said, adding that in the past the administration has replied positively to such requests.

Shortly after issuance of the notification from commissioner office the Ulema will be detained in their homes, they said, adding that preparations in this regard are already complete.

When asked about the identities of the Ulema, the officials chose not to respond explaining that they may get news and escape prior to their detention.

#1  Oh, how one wishes ROEs (aka politics) had allowed US Forces to round up the imams, blow up the materiel gorging their mosques and flatten the mosques. The easiest way to concentrate the snuffies in preparation for dispatch is to target their combat commanders, their imams. Snuffies will close around those commanders like guards around a queen and now, voila, a very large high value, concentrated target conveniently convened.
