There are increasing levels of harassment, intimidation and attacks against religious minorities in Pakistan & Indonesia specially Shia, Ahmadiyya and Christians. Attacks and burning of homes and places of worship, displacement of these groups in Indonesia and daily brutal killing of Shia men, women and children in Pakistan is a routine . Those who commit acts of violence against religious minorities are rarely punished.
Government authorities in Pakistan & Indonesia including police are failing to protect these communities and, in some cases, actively taking part in their persecution. These include attempts by government officials to force religious minorities, such as Ahmadiyya and Shi’a followers, to denounce their beliefs. US government need to intervene in this matter immediately.
