Pakistan 'moral laws' spark row

A controversial new law critics say will seek Taleban-style moral
policing has been presented in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province.

The bill would see the introduction of a moral police force to ensure
strict adherence to Islamic injunctions.

Calling the proposed law "Taleban-style extremism", angry opposition
politicians threw copies of the proposed legislation in the air to
register their protest.

The proposed law calls for the establishment of a new department to
"discourage vice and encourage virtue."
