A recent report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has raised serious concerns over religious freedom in Pakistan, highlighting increasing persecution of the Ahmadiyya community, forced conversions, and violent attacks against religious minorities. Pakistan has been designated a “Country of Particular Concern” due to its systematic discrimination against Ahmadis and the government’s failure to curb related violence. The report notes that Pakistan’s Penal Code openly discriminates against Ahmadis, restricting their ability to identify as Muslims or practice their faith publicly. In 2025, violence escalated with three Ahmadi mosques demolished in Punjab in February, followed by an attack in April where over 400 people assaulted another Ahmadi mosque, brutally killing Ahmadi worker Laiq Chima. Forced conversions of Hindu and Christian girls continue in Sindh and Punjab. The USCIRF urges increased awareness and action by policymakers to protect religious minorities in the country.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has condemned the lack of religious freedom and rising religious intolerance in Pakistan.
