Persecution of Ahmadies in Pakistan

Source: Abid Khan, Press Secretary AMJ International:

Despite hope of change arising out of Pakistan’s general elections, Pakistan’s Ahmadi Muslims remain subjected to sustained and serious oppression because of their faith.
In this edition, we report on four attempted murders, an attempted kidnapping of a nine year old Ahmadi Muslim girl, seven attacks on Ahmadi Muslim publications and six indicative incidents of cultural violence. We also report on the police exhumation of an Ahmadi Muslim lady, attacks on Ahmadi Muslim Mosques and a number of anti-Ahmadiyya conferences in which open calls for the murder of Ahmadi Muslims continue to be made. These instances are indicative of the widespread and systematic application of religious persecution prevalent against Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan.
Our editorial looks at cultural violence and how long standing anti-Ahmadiyya legislation and the acts and omission of State actors have led to the legitimisation of persecution against Ahmadi Muslims on a noteworthy scale.
This edition concludes with a selection of news articles and a statistics page offering a visual representation of the types of the maltreatment suffered by Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan.
