On the evening of September 28, 2025, a violent mob descended upon the Ahmadiyya residents of Piro Chak, a village in the Sialkot district of Punjab, Pakistan. The assailants, incited by religious hatred, systematically attacked homes, shops, and vehicles belonging to members of the community. Eyewitness accounts and journalistic reports describe a scene of terror and destruction, with properties set ablaze and looted while the occupants fled for their lives.

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.

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief has called for contributions from all over the world on the topic of religious freedom for migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees. This initiative is aimed at the increasing problems faced by people and communities who have been forced to leave their homes on account of religious persecution. The Special Rapporteur’s report provides a general picture of systemic violations of religious freedom affecting primarily vulnerable populations such as asylum seekers and IDPs.
