Cops relay threat to CD vendors
|
 Police on Friday ordered video shops in a northwestern town to remove tapes of risqué stage shows after militants threatened attacks over the obscene footage. We have asked shop owners to remove the obscene videos and CDs to avoid any crackdown against them, police officer Syed Liaqat Shah said.
So the coppers are aiding and abetting the Talibs in their efforts to bully the local populace. I guess it's understandable. The shopkeepers are less likely to be armed and dangerous.
| One shop in Nowshera received an anonymous letter signed by well wishers demanding the closure of all outlets that sold un-Islamic material, including videos of suggestive dancing and songs. |
One shop in Nowshera received an anonymous letter signed by well wishers demanding the closure of all outlets that sold un-Islamic material, including videos of suggestive dancing and songs. We have been asked to wind up the business in the next 10 days or face dire consequences, shop owner Sagheer Khan said. He said militants had warned that shops would receive the same treatment as those in Charsadda.
Khan said police had assured shop owners of their full cooperation in tracking down those who wrote the letter. Police said they had intensified security around all video and CD shops in Nowshera, 60 kilometres west of Islamabad, and plain-clothed officers would be deployed.
