Persecution of Ahmadiyya community grows in Pakistan
The desecration of Ahmadiyya places of worship in Pakistan continues with the latest incident occurring on December 22, 2023, in Samanduri, District Faisalabad. Police officials reportedly destroyed the minarets of an Ahmadiyya worship place in the presence of the Assistant Commissioner (AC). The targeted worship place, constructed in 1956, had been under threat from extremists since the previous year. Despite efforts by authorities to maintain control, the situation escalated, marking the 42nd desecration of an Ahmadiyya worship place last year alone. After demolishing the minarets, the police reportedly removed the debris, disregarding a judgement from the Lahore High Court (LHC)
