OFFICIAL STATEMENT MRM (18th October 2023)
We are disconcerted by the decision of the concerned Court in the case of 25 year old Rajeeta Kolhi, who is reportedly a victim of the crimes of abduction, forced marriage, illegal confinement and rape.

Who & where is Sagar Kumar?
Read this thread 🧵
Sagar Kumar, was abducted on August 9th, 2023, from Al-Riaz hotel Kashmore while he was dining with a friend. The family sought help from the police but faced refusal and noncooperation from officers.

"Forced conversion" is a crime that has plagued Christian and Hindu families by particularly targeting their underage girls — who are often abducted, raped and/or groomed, and married to Muslim men who are typically twice or sometimes even thrice their age. 🧵
Notan Lal, a Hindu school principal, was falsely accused of blasphemy in an FIR on September 14, 2019. The 59-year-old was detained the following day, leading to further anti-Hindu violence in Ghotki, resulting in the vandalism of a well-known temple, Shree Krishna Mandir.🧵

REMINDER: We will be sitting in at Teen Talwar, Karachi at 5 PM today, and lighting candle vigils for the darkness that has taken over the lives of our religious minorities — with the gruesome Jaranwala incident being the last nail in the coffin.
A Blasphemy Accusation?
Just the utterance of this term can cause terror, mayhem and murder at the hands of extremist mobs. We talk about this dreaded law today because for minority communities and dissenters, this word is terrorizing. 🧵

People who don’t belong to the majority religion in Pakistan face persecution every day. There is a phenomenal increase in discrimination and violence against religious minorities.
