flag Hindus in Pakistan face rising persecution via abuse of blasphemy laws, leading to violence, forced conversions, and eroding religious freedom.

flag Hindus in Pakistan face escalating persecution due to the misuse of blasphemy laws, with at least 475 cases in 2024, many based on personal disputes or prejudice, sparking mob violence, abductions, and forced conversions—especially of minors. flag Authorities frequently fail to protect victims or prosecute perpetrators, and courts sometimes accept coerced conversions as voluntary. flag Hindu temples are largely abandoned or illegally occupied, with only 13 of 365 maintained by the government. flag The report links the worsening climate to the influence of Army Chief Syed Asim Munir, whose Islamist views are seen as emboldening extremism and deepening intolerance. flag Sindhi communities also face systemic repression. flag Human rights groups warn of unchecked discrimination, violence, and cultural erosion, highlighting a dire threat to religious freedom and minority safety in Pakistan.
