Pakistan’s crackdown on Shia protests in PoGB and a deadly mosque attack expose ongoing sectarian violence and systemic failures to protect religious minorities.
Pakistan faces growing international scrutiny over its treatment of religious minorities, particularly Shias in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB), where a report alleges a decades-long military campaign involving violence, arbitrary arrests, and curfews.
A March 1 crackdown on Shia protests over Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei’s assassination reportedly killed 14 civilians and injured 60, including children, amid claims of targeted killings and property destruction.
The report contrasts PoGB’s conditions with Indian-administered Ladakh, where Shias live without persecution.
Meanwhile, a suicide attack on a Shia mosque in Islamabad killed 36 and injured 170, highlighting ongoing sectarian violence and the government’s failure to protect minority communities, including Ahmadiyyas, Ismailis, and others, despite repeated calls for accountability and reform.
