<p>We are concerned about the reports of the damage to the Ahmadiyya Muslim mosque
in Hasilpur, Punjab, Pakistan.</p><p>We regularly raise our concerns about reports
of discrimination against religious minorities in Pakistan, including the Ahmadis,
with the Pakistani Government at a senior level. The previous Foreign Secretary discussed
the treatment of minority religious communities with Foreign Minister Qureshi during
his visit to the UK in June. The UK strongly condemns the persecution of all minorities,
including the targeting of innocent people based on their beliefs. The British Government
continues to urge Pakistan to honour its human rights obligations, including those
related to religious minorities, and to uphold the rule of law.</p>
