The Islamic Republic of Pakistan makes the list of “Countries of Concern” in the UK’s just released “Human Rights and Democracy: The 2011 Foreign & Commonwealth Office Report”:

Pakistan

Despite some positive steps in 2011, there continue to be serious concerns about human rights in Pakistan, including the rule of law; investigation of allegations of torture; freedom of religion or belief; the death penalty; women’s rights; children’s rights; extrajudicial killings; access to water, healthcare and education; and free and fair elections. …………………….

Access to justice and the rule of law

The dire situation of the justice system in Pakistan continues to provide cause for concern, including in areas such as case handling, trial procedures, bail arrangements, the time taken for sentencing, prison conditions and parole. During 2011, there were continued reports of allegations of extrajudicial killings and other ill-treatment and torture by state agencies, particularly in Balochistan. We continue to emphasise to the Pakistani authorities the importance of ensuring compliance with international human rights instruments, and the need to investigate thoroughly any accusations of extrajudicial killings or torture. …………………

Freedom of religion or belief

In early 2011, two politicians – Salman Taseer and Shahbaz Bhatti – were assassinated in Islamabad. Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab Province, was shot by one of his own bodyguards at a market in Islamabad in January. Shahbaz Bhatti, the Minister for Minority Affairs, was killed by the Pakistan Taliban while leaving his home in March. Both had called for the blasphemy laws to be reformed. Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are frequently abused by individuals as a means of carrying out personal vendettas through making unfounded accusations against other members of their communities. These accusations are most often levelled at Muslims by other Muslims, but are also regularly used to target religious minorities. The response to their assassinations caused widespread concern, both in Pakistan and the UK. The killer of Mr Taseer justified his actions by highlighting the former’s support for reform of the blasphemy laws and his support for a Christian woman sentenced to death under these laws. While swiftly condemned by all mainstream political parties in Pakistan, his killer was feted by many for his religious conviction, and benefited from several high-profile supporters during his subsequent trial. ………………………….

Minority rights

This year has seen further incidents of discrimination against minorities in Pakistan, including against the Hindu and Hazara populations. In particular, we are concerned about targeted attacks on the Hazara population in Balochistan in the second half of 2011 and the Ahmadi community in Pakistan. Provisions within the constitution of Pakistan prevent Ahmadis from openly practising their religion, or identifying themselves as Muslims. ……………………..

Hate campaign against Ahmadis reaches new heights

The hate campaign against Ahmadis reached new heights in Pakistan and even innocent children are not spared now.

The report said, “There was an open hate campaign against Ahmadis in Pakistan and young children studying in nursery grade classes are not even spared from this horrific discrimination and hatred.”

“The hate filled posters; stickers, fliers and calendars were openly distributed across Pakistan,”

in Faisalabad where fliers and leaflets were openly distributed calling people to kill Ahmadis.

Ahmadi children faced expulsion from schools or outright refusal by the educational institutions to admit them

The report urged the government to consider Ahmadiyya-specific laws and ensure that Ahmadis in Pakistan were given equal rights as any other citizen.

Yeah right. When pigs fly....

Makes my blood boil when I read about what Hindus have to face in Pakistan.

Since our government and elites are dhimmis, the only realistic option is to have a strong Hindu lobby in the West, esp. US and UK, and force Pakis to behave.

I am sure, given the option, almost every Hindu there would come over, although that would mean the total end of Hindus there and more land under the total control of the Muslims.

Typical of the bigoted Mohammadden behaviour that one has come to expect from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Rather than pursue the slaughterers of the 88 Mohammaddens of the Ahmadiyya sect by their fellow Mohammaddens of the Sunni sect, the justice system of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan seems to be obsessed with demolishing parts of the Mosque where the carnage took place in order to prevent the imagined crime of a group of people “posing as Muslim’s”. Thus the Courts of Pakistan have permitted the erasing of Mohammadden inscriptions drawn from the Koran and the demolition of the Mosque’s Dome and minaret.

Will the Mohammadden world rise up and condemn the irresponsible precedent set by the Courts of an Islamic Republic and Ideological Muslim State, that somehow the desecration of the Mohammadden Holy Book, the Koran and demolition of Mohamadden places of worship is permissible under Mohammadden law?

Now SHias are called Kaffir's when they visit a Sunni Mosque.

All hail my sectarian God

Recently, I was told by a non-Sunni friend how he was tormented by fellow worshipers at a Sunni mosque during Friday prayers. He was on the road and getting late for jamaat (congregation), so he went for the nearest mosque he could find - only to discover later that he was a Kafir for doing so. He was identified as a Shia when he did not raise his forefinger for Shahadat during the prayers.

And Heres something mainstream media ignored

We have sectarian terrorist groups that are out to kill Shias and Ahmadis, so as to ensure their specific God's name is saved from the "evil of these sects". The most recent example of this phenomenon is the killing of over 200 people in sectarian violence in Gilgit-Baltistan on 28th February and 3rd April - including the selective slaughtering of more than a 100 Shias in one go.

Green on Green Intra-Mohammadden sectarian violence in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a country claimed to have been created as a safe haven for the Mohammaddens of the Indian Sub-Continent.

Cleric belonging to the minority Shia sect of Mohammaddenism is targeted and killed by his co-religionists in Karachi. Here it may be noted that, though Dawn remains mum about it, the Wahdat-i-Muslimeen, which is reported in the article as having condemned the killing and termed it the continuation of ‘persistent violence against a particular community’, is a Shia / Shiite religious outfit :

Prayer leader

After sunset, a prayer leader was gunned down in Nazimabad.

Though the area police showed unawareness about the people behind the killing of Allama Ghulam Amini, they were sure that the motive for the killing was sectarian.

“He was targeted near Gol Maidan in Nazimabad No 3,” said DSP Shahid Abbas, the area’s sub-divisional police officer (SDPO). “Scheduled loadshedding was under way in the area when he was targeted. We are not very sure about the number of attackers and their mode of transport, but multiple accounts suggest that two men on a motorbike targeted him when he was going somewhere.”

He said the victim suffered three bullet wounds and died on the spot. The body was later shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where a large number of area people converged.

“In his mid-50s, he was Pesh Imam of Jama Masjid Noor-i-Iman in Nazimabad No 3 and resident of Gulbahar,” said DSP Abbas. “Apparently there is no motive other than sectarian behind his killing. The family also denies his personal enmity with any individual or group.”

His assessment echoed in the reaction that came shortly after the incident from the Wahdat-i-Muslimeen, which condemned the killing and termed it the continuation of ‘persistent violence against a particular community’.

“The government has failed to stem violence and no credible action is seen on ground against the banned outfits, which are involved in these killings and openly claim responsibility for acts of terror,” said Maulana Hasan Zafar Naqvi.

Hope fades away for Hazaras of Pakistan

“At least 60 people belonging to Hazara community living in Quetta have been killed in targeted attacks, including suicide, remote-controlled and timer device bombings and firing,” says a report published in this newspaper, following a brutal attack on Shia pilgrims belonging to the Hazara community.

Thursday’s bomb attack in the Hazarganji area on the outskirts of the provincial capital of Balochistan was not the first such attack of the year. Not even the first of the month. The Hazara community has been targeted, with great impunity, by outlawed militant organisations on at least six occasions in the current year. While all attacks have claimed precious lives, one of worst attacks against the community came last September, when a bus carrying Hazara passengers was stopped by assailants heavily armed with rocket launchers and Kalashnikovs. They identified Hazara men, took them off the bus and slaughtered them one by one within half a kilometre from a security check post. A similar incident was repeated a few days later in Akhtarabad area of Quetta. Some unconfirmed reports say “over 800 Hazaras have been killed in 24 incidents of mass-murder and 131 targeted ambushes since 2001.”

From the article, signs of paki security forces being in cahoots with the killers:

“The Hazaras are being systematically killed because they are anti-Taliban and because they do not agree with the policy of strategic depth towards Afghanistan,” says Tahir Khan Hazara, a political activist.

Dehqanzada alleges that his community’s ‘refusal to fight the Baloch’ has led them to become targets of unabated violence. “We are not going to destroy our relations with our brothers in Balochistan,” he adds.

While there is little doubt that all the attacks have been unprovoked and unidirectional without any apprehensions for many years, for Hazaras, the failure of security forces to protect their community remains an unanswered question.

Some blame security forces and intelligence agencies for the killings.

According to a recent report on the killings of Hazaras, the Frontier Corps (FC) believes that “the Hazaras are receiving funding from Iran to incite Shia revolution in Pakistan,

Almost all the attacks on Hazaras have either taken place in the vicinity or in between two FC check posts – raising questions over the ability of heavily armed men to cross the check-posts, kill innocent civilians and escape on their pick-up vehicles without being caught or chased after.

“If you look at the videos of the Mastung and Akhtarabad massacres released by the terrorists on YouTube, you will find out that all these incidents have taken place on an international highway, bustling with traffic but the terrorists seem in no haste as they slaughter our people. It takes them almost half an hour to accomplish their mission and not a single vehicle passes the site of the attack. How was the traffic blocked on both sides?” asks a Hazara activist, who wishes to remain anonymous for security reasons.
