Religious Persecution in Pakistan: The Systematic Targeting of Ahmadis

CAP Liberté de Conscience and the International Human Rights  Committee (IHRC) are ringing the alarm bells over the continuing erosion of religious freedom in Pakistan.  In a recent joint report submitted to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or  Belief, these organizations continued to highlight the systematic and widespread violations of the rights of religious minorities with a  focus on the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. The report shows that international intervention is desperately required  to prevent the further persecution of Ahmadis in Pakistan, a community that has been persecuted for its beliefs  for years.
