Taliban Apologist Court bars extradition of Mullah Baradar
By Syed Shoaib Hasan
The Afghan Taliban’s top military commander, who was recently detained in Pakistan, is not to be extradited, the Lahore High Court has ruled.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was arrested in early February. The court also banned extraditing four other Taliban chiefs reportedly seized recently.
But Pakistan has not confirmed the identities of any other militants held.
The order was in response to a petition filed by a rights activist to prevent the detainees from being sent abroad.
“The high court has ordered that none of the leaders should be handed over to the US or Afghanistan,” Tariq Asad, a lawyer handling the petition told the BBC.
“The court has also said that none, other than Pakistan intelligence or security officials should be given access to the Taliban leaders,” he said.
The court also ruled that the government should provide answers about the grounds on which the men were arrested.
Taliban arrests
Although Pakistani officials have confirmed the capture of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, there is little clarity about the other Taliban chiefs reportedly held.
Unnamed Pakistani officials have told US media about the arrests of several leading figures in the Afghan Taliban in recent weeks.
They are said to be:
- Mullah Abdul Salam, the “shadow governor” of Afghanistan’s Kunduz province
- Mullah Mir Mohammad, the “shadow governor” of Baghlan province
- Mullah Abdul Kabir, believed to be a senior figure in the Taliban leadership and “shadow governor” of Nangarhar province
The petition named all of the above as well as Ameer Muawiyia, described as a senior Taliban officer based in Pakistan.
This may be another identity for a Taliban official, Mullah Mohammed Younis, reported on 22 February to have been arrested – but there are few details on when and where he was detained.
The decision is likely to deny the US and Afghan governments access to the detained commanders for the moment.

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday prohibited the extradition of five Afghan Taliban leaders and summoned the provincial and federal governments on March 15.
The arrested militants include Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar who is considered the right hand man of Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar.
Other arrested Afghan Taliban included Mullah Saleem, Maulvi Kabeer, Mullah Mohammad and Ameer Muavia.
The five were arrested from Faisalabad and Karachi a few weeks ago.
On February 25, a petition was filed in the LHC by Khalid Khwaja against the arrest of the five Afghan Taliban leaders. Khwaja requested that the five not be deported to any foreign country.

The Pistons, with their punishing, physical play, established a plan for playing against Jordan, dubbed “The Jordan Rules” by Pistons coach Chuck Daly. The Jordan rules involved double and triple teaming him every time he touched the ball, preventing him from going to the baseline, hammering him when he drove to the basket, forcing him to the center where help defense could arrive and making him rely on his inexperienced teammates.
Il ya deux positions, vous pouvez demander: modèle et l’impact. Les modèles sont essentiellement associés commerciaux et les greeters afin qu’ils travaillent sur le sol, prendre soin des clients. Impact travaille dans l’entrepôt et prend soin de l’expédition et de l’organisation de vêtements. Vous obtenez différentes questions d’entrevue en fonction de quelle position vous postulez. Mais dans l’ensemble, vous n’avez besoin d’être super attractif pour y travailler. Si les gestionnaires estiment que vous pourriez apporter une contribution positive à la société et peu avoir "le look" qu’ils recherchent, vous avez probablement faire embaucher. Cela dépend aussi beaucoup sur si elles ont actuellement besoin d’employés, mais ils se constamment de nouveaux employés. Bonne chance!

Par exemple, les deux woo girls autoproclamées ont descendu sans faillir 3 cocktail alcoolisés contre un seul pour leurs deux compagnes de soirée (elles ont bu du jus de fruit après, je balance) mais comme les nachos épongeait bien, personne n’a été malade et à la fin, tout le monde marchait droit.
