Lahore, May 17 (ANI): Safeguarding of human rights in Pakistan, or more specifically in its largest Punjab province, is complex, given the nation's demographic diversity, huge population and a democracy that is an admixture of both Islamic and secular laws. Pakistan, in fact, is turning into a human rights graveyard. Pakistan's Christian community, which forms approximately 1.5 percent of the country's population, has often been accused of blaspheming the Quran and Prophet Mohammad. Some notable incidents involving blasphemy accusations were as follows: On October 28, 2001, in Lahore, Islamic militants killed 15 Christians inside a church. On September 25, 2002, two terrorists entered the "Peace and Justice Institute", Karachi, where they separated Muslims from the Christians, and then executed eight Christians by shooting them in the head. Ashiq Masih, the padre of the Lahore Church, then said, "The government is responsible for this incident. It is for the government to ensure that these bad people do not carry out malicious acts against Christians." Pakistan civil society also condemned the incident and laid the blame for at the government's doorstep. Salamat Gill, the Bishop of Lahore, has said, "There has never been any brutality from our side. Whenever there has been violence, it has been from the other side." Human rights violations against the minority Ahmadiyya community have been systematic and allegedly state-sponsored to gain the support of Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan.
