To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with the Government of Indonesia concerning restrictions on the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s freedom to worship and reports of discrimination against its members.
We strongly condemn all instances of hate and violence against the Ahmadiyya community. The UK remains committed to championing freedom of religion or belief for all. Last year, we launched the UK's Freedom of Religion or Belief Strategy. The UK, including Embassy officials, engages with religious minority communities, including Ahmadiyya, in Indonesia. The UK regularly raises concern around instances of violence against minority religious groups with Indonesian Government officials, most recently in September 2026. The UK's Human Rights Ambassador Eleanor Sanders raised the restrictions facing Ahmadiyya during her visit to Jakarta in 2025. Through programming, the UK has supported training in Indonesia on inter-faith mediation for community leaders and on understanding legal rights for religious minority communities.
That this House condemns the systematic persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan; deplores the violence, disenfranchisement, arbitrary arrest, and restrictions on religious practice Ahmadis endure daily under Pakistan’s blasphemy and anti-Ahmadi laws; denounces the desecration of Ahmadi graves and mosques by Pakistani police; and calls upon the Government to implement the findings of the 2026 IHRC Annual Report and its five actions, first, to make full voting rights, equal citizenship and constitutional protections for Ahmadis a named demand in every bilateral engagement with Pakistan, second, to press Pakistani authorities to protect Ahmadi mosques and cemeteries, third, to use the UK’s Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020 against named perpetrators of serious human rights abuses against Ahmadis, fourth, to make UK aid, trade, and diplomatic engagement with Pakistan dependent on verifiable reforms to the treatment of Ahmadis, and fifth, to issue updated UK asylum guidance recognising the risks faced by Ahmadis and ensure that Ahmadi Muslims at risk of persecution have access to safe and legal protection routes to the UK.

I thank my hon. Friend, and I am grateful to all the agencies involved in the enforcement action, including Cheshire police. It is vital that local public services get the funding that they need, and that is why we have increased Cheshire’s police budget by over £15 million. We have also recruited 3,000 more neighbourhood police officers while bringing forward wide-ranging reforms to ensure that everyone has access to swift and equal justice.

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the exclusion of Ahmadi Muslims from the National Commission for Minorities in Pakistan; and what recent engagement they have had with the government of Pakistan on this issue.
The UK Government is concerned by reports that Pakistan's new National Commission for Minority Rights will exclude Ahmadi Muslims from its protections. We have urged the Government of Pakistan to guarantee the rights of all citizens in line with international standards, and our High Commission in Islamabad raises the persecution of Ahmadi Muslims at the highest levels. The Minister for the Middle East has also raised these issues repeatedly with senior counterparts, including most recently with Deputy Prime Minister Dar in August 2025 when he highlighted the importance of safety and dignity for Ahmadis and the need for inclusive institutions. We will continue to urge the Government of Pakistan to guarantee the rights of all people in accordance with international standards.
