Ahmadis remained deprived of their rights in 2006
Ahmadis continued to be murdered and attacked for their faith and discriminated against by the state and society in 2006, according to the annual Ahamdiyya community report. One of the major incidents of the year was a riot at Jhando Sahi, Daska tehsil, Sialkot district, during which local Ahmadis were made to flee their homes by sectarian zealots in the presence of the police, who refused to restore calm on the excuse that the riot might spread to other villages, says the annual report. Press freedom, a flagship human rights policy of the government, was selectively denied to the Ahmadiyya press, says the report. The printer and publisher of the Daily Alfazal were booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Sultan Ahmad Dogar, the printer, has been incarcerated since September 9, 2006. Posted by: Fred 2007-02-16 |
