The Pakistani authorities must immediately end the harassment, intimidation and attacks on Ahmadiyya community and uphold their right to freedom of belief and religion in the lead up to, during and after the Muslim religious holidays such as Eid ul-Azha, said Amnesty International today.
The human rights organization documented 36 cases of arbitrary arrests and detention in addition to dozens of cases of police harassment of Ahmadis, as well as orders barring religious rites by members of the minority group, from 10 to 19 June. Several attacks on Ahmadi places of worship also took place, with the authorities failing to ensure the safety and security of members of the community.
