In this photograph taken on August 27, 2013 shows a Pakistani pedestrians walk past the first mobile court bus in Peshawar. First mobile court designed to go directly to the people, resolving their daily disputes in some of the most remote and dangerous parts of the country. A $98,000 bus, customed fitted as a mini courtroom guarded by armed police but reminiscent of a chip van is the latest weapon in the battle against the Pakistani Taliban. The aim is to cut down on the backlog of cases in ordinary courts dating back years, which has fuelled support for the Taliban and increased calls for sharia law at the expense of the government.
