Pakistan: An Ahmadi Official Removed from Post After Extremist Pressure Campaign
On 8 August 2026, the Punjab Land Records Authority transferred Naghman Ahmad, an Ahmadi Muslim, from his post as Assistant Director in Lalian following an extremist campaign by Khatm-e-Nabuwwat groups. They publicly celebrated his removal as an ideological victory. The administrative order, devoid of professional justification, violates Articles 18, 25, 26 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, illustrating the subordination of Pakistan’s state apparatus to sectarian pressure.
