<p>The UK Government remains deeply concerned by reports of discrimination and violence
against religious communities in Pakistan, including against the Ahmadiyya Muslim
community. We are deeply concerned and saddened by the murders of Tahir Ahmad Nassem
on 29 July, Meraj Ahmed on 12 August and Dr Naeemuddin Khattak on 5 October in Peshawar.</p><p>We
engage at a senior level with the Government of Pakistan on the mistreatment of religious
and ethnic groups, including from the Ahmadiyya, Christian, Hazara and Shia communities.
On 27 August, I raised our concerns regarding Freedom of Religion of Belief and the
protection of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Pakistan with Pakistan's Minister
for Human Rights, Dr Shireen Mazari. I also raised Freedom of Religion or Belief concerns
with Pakistan's High Commissioner to the UK, Moazzam Ahmad Khan, on 8 October.</p>
