Annual Report 2013: Human Rights in Pakistan – ghrd

Pakistan, founded by Muhammad Ali Jinnah in 1947, is home to one of the world’s largest Muslim populations. However, the country has evolved into a melting pot of violence, rivalry, animosity, and prejudice. Religious minorities make up only 3% of Pakistan’s 180 million population, with the remaining 97% being the Muslim majority. The country faces serious issues such as sectarian violence, interfaith violence, and persecution. The government has failed to implement concrete measures to protect its minorities from harm, with scores of Shias killed or injured in 2013. The government has also failed to take action to discourage attacks against minorities and reform the police force.
