Closed petition Review UK-Pakistan relations

Closed on 30 May 2024

We think the UK should review its relations with Pakistan. There is strong evidence of human rights violations against religious and ethnic minorities in Pakistan, and now following concerns about the election, we want the UK to act.

There are alarming instances of persecution of Sikh, Hindu, Ahmadi and Christian minorities - be it forced conversions and marriages of young girls, kidnappings, disappearances, economic exploitation or blasphemy laws. We believe fundamental rights to freedom of religion, belief and security are being infringed.

While the UK gives aid to Pakistan to promote freedom of religion or belief, we believe attacks on minorities are rapidly increasing. We think relations with Pakistan need to be reviewed urgently.
