July 2013 Factsheet U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Pakistan

While Shi’a are more at risk of becoming victims of suicide bombings and targeted shootings, the already poor religious freedom environment for Christians, Ahmadis, and Hindus continued to deteriorate, with a number violent incidents occurring against members of these communities.

The information the Project gathered is based on reports and news articles available in the public domain. The Project seeks to be inclusive, tracking all reported incidents involving physical attacks targeting a member of a religious community or a major religious gathering place (church, shrine, or mosque). However, it is not exhaustive and some acts of violence are certain to have been overlooked. While each incident has not been independently verified, the accompanying Factsheet provides a hyperlink to the supporting documents.

The Project’s findings paint a grim and challenging picture for the new government of Prime Minister Newaz Sharif. It was positive that the Prime Minister raised concerns about religious minorities during his maiden speech before the National Assembly, as well as travelled to Quetta after a recent bombing targeting Shi’a and tasked his government to act. However, concrete, resolute action is needed to ensure that perpetrators of violence are arrested, prosecuted and jailed. To stem the rising tide of violent religious extremism, groups and individuals responsible for attacks on religious communities must be punished. In addition, while banned militant groups and private citizens are responsible for the majority of attacks on religious communities, government actors are not blameless – police officers have turned a blind eye to mob attacks or have refused to file police reports when victims are religious minorities. The climate of impunity threatening all Pakistanis, regardless of their faith, also is exacerbated by the much- abused blasphemy and anti-Ahmadi laws.
