Answer: Further to the answer provided on 29 October 2025 to Question 83844, we remain concerned by reports of violence and discrimination affecting Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan, and we regularly raise the rights and safety of religious minorities with the Government of Pakistan at senior levels. During my visit to Pakistan in June 2026, I met with Law and Human Rights Minister Tarar to discuss a broad range of human rights issues and heard from a number of civil society actors about the biggest challenges in Pakistan's human rights landscape.
