<p>We engage at a senior level with the Pakistani Government on our concerns about
the mistreatment of religious and ethnic groups, including Pakistanis from the Ahmadiyya
Muslim community. We will continue to urge the Government of Pakistan to guarantee
the fundamental rights of all its citizens, as laid down in the constitution of Pakistan
and in accordance with international standards. It is vital that Pakistan guarantees
the rights of all its citizens, regardless of gender, ethnicity or belief. The Minister
of State for South Asia and the Commonwealth, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, who is also
the Minister responsible for human rights, raised our concerns about Freedom of Religion
or Belief and the protection of the Ahmadiyya community in a letter to Pakistan's
Human Rights Minister, Dr Shireen Mazari, on 27 February.</p>
