Relentless persecution
Sir, – The UN International Day of Peace, to be observed on September 21st, comes at a time of widespread injustice and unrest. While injustice exists globally, the plight of Ahmadis in Pakistan is particularly urgent.
This year’s theme for the UN International Day of Peace, “Cultivating a Culture of Peace”, urges tolerance, empathy, and respect. Yet in Pakistan, Ahmadis face systemic discrimination, with our mosques attacked and even graves desecrated, a violation of the very concept of peace. As an Ahmadi Muslim who once lived in Pakistan, I have witnessed the relentless persecution of our community. The pain of seeing even the dead subjected to hate is unimaginable. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has always championed peace and justice, reminding the world that “Without justice, there can be no peace.”Rolling crises propel Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood to largest number of seats in electionPaddy Daddy: Gloriously camp cabaret chronicling Mark T Cox’s intimate affairs in rural Ireland I urge the international community to stand up for Ahmadis in Pakistan. Peace must be more than a symbolic gesture. It requires real action to end oppression. – Yours, etc,Spray foam insulation: as 300,000 UK homeowners are left in a tight spot, Irish surveyors have their own warnings Apple warned Government of ‘real threat to Ireland’ from countries trying to lure multinationals awaySolheim Cup 2024: Tee times, TV details, players to watchSophie Toscan du Plantier case: Failure to deliver justice ‘a deep shame,’ says Micheál Martin
