Pakistan is widely criticized for strong religious intolerance, according to a recent report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). The report highlights ongoing persecution of the Ahmadi Muslim community and rising cases of forced conversions and violence linked to blasphemy laws. Ahmadis face legal discrimination, with mosques destroyed and attacks causing deaths. Authorities have also targeted Ahmadis for praying privately. Forced conversions of Hindu and Christian girls continue in Sindh and Punjab. The report urges Pakistan to repeal harsh blasphemy laws and protect religious minorities.
