<p>The UK Government remains deeply concerned by reports of discrimination and violence
against religious communities in Pakistan, including against the Ahmadiyya Muslim
community.</p><p>We continue to urge the Government of Pakistan at senior levels to
guarantee the fundamental rights of all its citizens, regardless of their religion
or belief. Most recently, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, the Minister for South
Asia and Minister responsible for Human Rights, raised the need to promote respect
for all religions, with Pakistan's Special Representative for Religious Harmony, Tahir
Ashrafi, on 23 March 2021. He also raised our concerns on Freedom of Religion or Belief
in Pakistan with the Minister for Human Rights, Dr Shireen Mazari, on 20 February
2021.</p>
