This is the first incident of Rajam (stoning to death) carried out in FATA. Earlier, couples found guilty of adultery by militants or tribesmen were executed by firing squads.
The woman, identified as Shano from Mohmand Agency, had allegedly eloped with Daulat Khan Malikdeenkhel of Bara on March 15.
Dr Asad, a spokesman for the militants, told Dawn that Shano was a married woman living in Peshawar’s Deen Bahar colony.
He said a complaint had been received from her family that she had been abducted by Daulat Khan. But later it was reported that she had eloped with him.
He said that some members of the Taliban movement captured them in Nowshera when they were returning from Karachi.
He said the qazi found the couple guilty of adultery and sentenced them to death by stoning and the sentence was carried out in Khwaezai-Baezai, about 40 kms west of the Mohmand Agency’s headquarters Ghalanai.
The body of the woman was laid to rest in the same area by some local people. The man’s body was taken to the hospital and handed over to his relatives."

Statement of Rohingya Women Rights
The voice of Rohingya women have been silenced by our males chauvinistic rohingya and it is time for change - we need to express our ideas and opinions freely.
For many centuries, these anti-feministic rohingyas have been enslaving us in our homes and villages. They are the ones who make the rules without any consideration for other parts - women are not allowed to go outside, women are punished if they don't want to have sex, men can possess women as cattles, women can not have education, women can not be a preacher and women are not considered to be human; let alone human rights.
These are Rohingya Women Rights' suggestions and supports:
1. We support the war crime tribunal for the Bengali extremists like our current male rohingyas who helped Pakistani army slaughtered and raped thousands of women in 1960s and 1970s. We urge all rohingya organizations to issue such statements.
2. We condem Osama Bin Laden and other extremists for their terrorist acts which kill not only non-muslims but also muslims.
3. We urge all male dominating Rohingya groups to respect all of your wives, sisters and daughters and treat them equally.
4. We support US and NATO in their new tactics for solving the threat of Islamic religious fundamentalists which will benefit our women.
Thank You.
