Pakistani Extremists Prevent Ahmadi Prayers During Eid
In Pakistan, religious extremists, including TLP members, stopped Ahmadis from offering Eid prayers and performing sacrifices in several cities.
Some Ahmadis were forced to convert and sign statements.
Police also arrested Ahmadis for animal sacrifices.
This violates the Ahmadi community’s right to practice their religion as guaranteed by the constitution, according to the JAP.
The Ahmadi community faces restrictions and discrimination, and the JAP says this treatment is both unconstitutional and illegal.
Religious extremists in Pakistan allegedly prevented Ahmadis from offering Eid prayers in multiple cities.
Extremists, including TLP members, reportedly forced two Ahmadis to renounce their faith.
Police in Punjab arrested and booked Ahmadis for attempting animal sacrifices during Eid-ul-Azha.
Ahmadis were coerced into signing statements promising not to offer Eid prayers or perform sacrifices.
The JAP stated that this treatment is unconstitutional and a violation of religious freedom.
