The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Mohammed warned on March 1 he wanted Islamic courts set up in two weeks, Daily Times reported. He said he was not happy over the fact that there had been no tangible progress since February 16 when the NWFP Government agreed to implement the Nizam-e-Adl Regulations 2009. “The Government announced enforcement of Sharia [Islamic law] but so far no practical step has been taken and we are not satisfied… I’m not seeing any practical steps for the implementation of the peace agreement, except for ministers visiting Swat and uttering words,” Sufi told reporters in Swat’s main town Mingora. The cleric said he was also unhappy over a delay in an exchange of prisoners and urged both the Taliban and the Government to release people they were holding by March 10. “If the Government does not appoint Qazis [Islamic judges] by March 15, and the two sides do not release prisoners in their custody, we will set up protest camps,” he said. He also said armed patrol by either side would not be allowed after March 1, and anybody who violated the truce would be charged and punished in line with the Sharia.

An ISPR press release said the attack was followed by exchange of fire which continued for an hour. Both sides are reported to have used heavy weapons. SFs fired artillery shells for the first time after a cease-fire was declared in Swat. One mortar shell hit a house, killing a man. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed the soldiers were attacked because of their movement in the area without giving prior information. He alleged that the movement of troops was pre-planned and aimed at consolidating their positions. At a press conference in Saidu Sharif, Sufi Mohammad blamed the SFs for the incident and said that they had violated the truce. According to him, it had been decided that no side would move till mid-March, except with prior permission of the TNSM. He said it was agreed that whenever the troops wanted to move they would inform the TNSM in advance to avoid misunderstanding. “The troops didn’t inform us which led to the ill-fated incident,” he said. He warned that if the cease-fire violation continued, the TNSM would have to come out of the peace process. The TNSM, he said, was satisfied with the Taliban activities, but had reservations about the role of SFs in the peace process.

The NWFP Government struck a 17-point deal with the banned Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) in the Swat valley on March 4, Daily Times reported. “A 17-point understanding was reached with a TNSM delegation … music has been banned in Swat and it has been agreed to expel prostitutes and pimps from the district,” said a senior official. The Awami National Party (ANP) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-led the provincial Government at the talks, while Maulana Safiullah and spokesman Amir Izzat Khan represented the TNSM – with Malakand Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed also in attendance. The meeting came a day after suspected Taliban militants killed two army troops and continued taking Government officials hostage, despite having agreed to a cease-fire in the wake of the provincial Government’s February 16 accord on the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law) in Swat. “Music and vulgar CDs will be banned; shops will remain closed during prayer times and the complete implementation of sharia laws in the region will come into effect from the 16th of this month… Vulgarity would be rooted out and profiteers dealt with under the law. An anti-crime campaign will be launched and Quran classes will be started for jail inmates in the region,” according to the key points of the understanding. The Malakand Commissioner’s office released to the media the 17-point understanding – which does not say if the Taliban would stop abducting Government officials and attacking Government forces. The Commissioner told the TNSM delegation that he would forward the 17 points to the Chief Secretary in Peshawar for the Government’s approval, said the officials.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad and Swat Taliban chief Mulla Fazlullah met at an undisclosed location on March 5 to discuss the implementation of the Swat peace deal with the Government, Daily Times reported. Sources said that Sufi had firmly told Fazlullah to stop armed Taliban militants from patrolling Mingora and other parts of Swat and lay down weapons immediately. Sufi said talks with the provincial Government had been satisfactory and the Taliban’s demands would be met soon, while Fazlullah’s response had also been positive, they said. Meanwhile, the TNSM spokesman Izzat Khan told Daily Times after a meeting between a TNSM jirga and the Malakand Commissioner that the Government had accepted only one demand for the withdrawal of the army from Imamdheri Markaz. He said that Takhtaband-Angrodheri Road was still closed, "and this is making us suspicious … the government should take steps to overcome my group’s mistrust".

The NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti said in Peshawar on March 6 that only those Taliban prisoners that fall in the ‘white category’ will be released as part of the peace deal in Swat. Prisoners in the black and grey categories – who are a serious threat to national security according to police investigation manual – will not be freed, he told Daily Times. “I have directed the home secretary to look into the cases of those prisoners who are in the white category. We will not free prisoners in black and grey categories,” the chief minister said. Maulana Sufi Muhammad, chief of the banned Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), had demanded the release of all Taliban prisoners arrested during military operations in Swat. Hoti also said his Government would soon send the draft Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009 to the president for his approval. “In the next few days it will be sent to the [NWFP] governor who will forward to President Zardari… The president has to sign it. It is just a formality,” he said.

The NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti signed on March 9 the draft of the proposed Nizam-e-Adl (Sharia) Regulation 2009, and sent it to Governor Owais Ghani to be forwarded to the President for approval, sources in Chief Minister’s Secretariat told Daily Times on March 9. The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) has set March 15 as the deadline for the Government to implement Sharia (Islamic law) in Malakand. NWFP Law Minister Arshad Abdullah told a press conference that the provincial Government had given final shape to the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009 and President Asif Ali Zardari would sign the document in three days. The law minister said the regulation would deal with criminal cases only. According to the regulation, the minister said that two appellate Sharia courts – Darul Qaza and Darul-Darul Qaza – would be established in Malakand Division. He said that verdicts delivered by the Darul Qaza court could be challenged in the Darul-Darul Qaza court, whose verdict would be final. The law minister also said the Nizam-e-Adl Regulations would be deemed to have come into effect on February 16.

Militants on March 12 took hostage 20 Policemen escorting the procession of TNSM chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad, representatives of the Government, Taliban and Qaumi Amn Jirga that was taking the newly-appointed Qazis (Islamic judges) to different areas of the Swat District, The News reported. The Police officials, riding two mobile vehicles, were providing security to the procession, which was taking the Qazis to their offices. The militants kidnapped all the 20 Police officials in Qamber, a town located three kilometers before Mingora. However, the Policemen were later freed on the intervention of Sufi Muhammad and others.

The provincial Government on March 18 directed the judges of subordinate judiciary of the Peshawar High Court in Swat not to attend courts and restrict themselves to their houses, Daily Times reported. The order came after a warning from the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad to the judges of Swat not to attend their courts. A civil judge in Swat told Daily Times that after Sufi’s warning, they had been directed by the Government and district administration not to attend courts due to security concerns. The judge, however, said most of the judges had started deciding cases of petty nature at their houses due to security reasons.

The Security Forces (SFs) have set free 15 more Taliban prisoners, including the brother of banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Swat chapter spokesman Muslim Khan, after the NWFP Government’s peace accord with Maulana Sufi Mohammad, the chief of outlawed Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), The News reported. Sources said the Taliban had handed a list of 220 prisoners to the Government after the peace accord. However, 15 militants were released on March 20, bringing the tally of the freed militants to 28 after the peace accord. The released militants included Noorul Huda, Ayub, Dilaram, Inayat, Fazle Ilahi, Anwar Hussain, Muzaffar, Rehmat, Munir Khan, Gul Zada, Saddam Hussain, Muhammad Yaqub, Arsala Khan, Sher Bahadur, Umar Khan and Zahir Shah.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad on March 24 threatened to halt his efforts for the restoration of peace if the Government did not immediately nullify all un-Islamic laws in the Malakand Division and empower Qazi courts to hear all cases, The News reported. Addressing a press conference in Mingora, Sufi Muhammad said though he was satisfied with the announcement of Sharia (Islamic law) by the Government, he was disappointed with the progress of the peace deal. “I am not convinced of the progress so far made with regard to the peace deal. The government had promised to declare all unIslamic laws in vogue in Malakand null and void but it is yet to be done despite the passage of 38 days,” the TNSM chief said. He also accused the Government of not entrusting Qazi courts with authority to hear all cases. “Qazis in the newly-established Shariah courts are sitting idle as they have not been mandated to hear crucial cases. I am not satisfied with the Qazi courts either,” he said. He threatened to quit the peace efforts in Swat if the Government did not act to practically rescind all un-Islamic laws and authorise Qazi courts to take up all cases.
