Pakistan’s minority persecution lands it on watchlist of shame
The recent inclusion of Pakistan, along with countries like China, on the US list of “Countries of Particular Concern” for religious freedom violations rings out not just as a diplomatic rebuke, but as an urgent call to action.

It is time for this pattern to end, not just for the sake of international standing, but for the sake of Pakistan’s own soul.
