<p>We are considering the recommendations of the APPG for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
in their report on Ahmadi Muslims of 20 July. Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of
State for South Asia, spoke at the launch event for the APPG's report on 21 July.
The UK Government remains deeply concerned by reports of discrimination and violence
against religious communities in Pakistan, including against the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community. We continue to urge the Government of Pakistan at senior levels to guarantee
the fundamental rights of all its citizens, regardless of their belief. Most recently,
Lord Ahmad raised our concerns about Freedom of Religion or Belief, with Pakistan's
Human Rights Minister, Dr Shireen Mazari, on 27 August. 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.</p>
