Answer:
In 2007, a Pakistani schoolteacher was arrested and put on trial by the Taliban on charges of preserving the “symbols of infidelity.”
It was a sheer stroke of luck that the Taliban’s ruthless justice department could not find enough proof. The teacher is still alive and struggling to preserve the 2,000 year old Buddhist history in Swat, the picturesque valley in northern Pakistan where a Taliban assassin targeted the Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai in October 2010.
Osman Ulasyar, 45, was arrested at his school, blindfolded and packed in a car to face Taliban justice. His crime: Stopping local boys from playing cricket in the middle of the Buddhist Stupa Court, which dates back to the 1st century CE.
