Hudson Institute - The Case of the Ahmadiyya Community

The Center for Religious Freedom held a discussion on Pakistan's Anti-Blasphemy Laws:


The Case of the Ahmadiyya Community With Mujeeb Ijaz and Amjad Mahmood Khan.
Held Wednesday, October 7, 2009. 12:00 - 1:30 P.M.

The status of religious freedom needs to be a central focus as Washington prepares to spend an unprecedented $1.5 billion in non-military assistance for Pakistan in the coming year, intended to help strengthen the civilian government there. Human rights activists Ijaz and Khan presented an overview of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan and describe how constitutional changes between 1974 and 1984 have deprived the Ahmadiyyas of their rights as Muslims and facilitated the rise of extremism in Pakistan.
