LAHORE: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has released a new report, “Under Siege: Freedom of Religion or Belief in 2023/24”, which exposes the alarming scale of state-led and mob-driven persecution against religious minorities, especially Ahmadis.
The report documents a pattern of systemic oppression including arbitrary arrests, desecration of graves and violent crackdowns on Ahmadi community’s religious practices.
A key finding of the report is the increasing weaponisation of blasphemy laws against Ahmadis, often initiated by law-enforcement officials themselves.
