Religious freedom advocates are strongly condemning deterioration of human rights in Pakistan, particularly continued abuse of the country’s harsh blasphemy laws and forced conversions of minority girls.
They delivered the scathing rebukes during the 58th Regular Session of the U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva at a side event hosted by rights organizations Jubilee Campaign USA, Set My People Free and the European Centre for Law and Justice.
The event focused on systematic use of torture and persecution in Pakistan, Eritrea, Nicaragua and Sudan.
