Pakistan: Ahmadiyya minority in danger


The local government is aware of these facts, and instead of protecting the peaceful members of the Ahmadiyya community, they submit to the mullahs and plainly refuse to provide protection to Ahmadis..

The urgent call to action was initiated by the Asian Human Rights Commission (Asian Human Rights) when the rights group  reported on its website that Ahmadi family was brutally tortured by fundamentalists with their accomplices.

The mullahs (fundamentalists) were accompanied by a sixty people mob from various terrorist organizations in Pakistan who invaded the house of the president of the local Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, a man named Malik Maqsood Ahmad, in Shamsabad village in the Kasur district.

His house was besieged and invaders jumped over the wall; and, after breaking into the home, Malik was dragged into the street before torturing and beating him until he lost consciousness and that he appears to them as dead. In the house, they destroyed everything they could lay their hands on.

Malik was transported to the nearest local hospital and he is diagnosed to be in a very critical condition.

Before this incident, the fundamentalists have held campaigns and public meetings to encourage people to hate and destroy the Ahmadis for several days,

Ahmadis are victims of social ostracism and nobody has the right to talk with them.

It should be recalled that the Ahmadis are stigmatized constitutionally as well as the provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code which forbids them from pronouncing the Islamic salvation, prayers, have places of worship or, more generally, to manifest any thing belonging to the Muslim identity under penalty of imprisonment.

Ahmadis, meanwhile, claim the status of Muslim for themselves since the inception of their movement in 1889 in India.

Ahmadi students are expelled from schools routinely and unprecedented open hate campaigns continue in the country, even within universities.

The local government is aware of these facts, and instead of protecting the peaceful members of the Ahmadiyya community, they submit to the mullahs and plainly refuse to provide protection to Ahmadis.

This incident is actually a small sample of many similar incidents of terror and injustice including the torture of Ahmadis in Pakistan.

Asian Commission of Human Rights has issued an emergency call and put online all the email addresses of Pakistani officials and a letter so that different individuals can write to them.
