Declared non-Muslims in Pakistan, the Ahmadis face social and legal discrimination with growing incidents of attacks on their worship places, as well as desecration of their graves reported this year.
Last month, the graves of Ahmadi community members were also desecrated in Faisalabad.
Since the start of this year, as many as five worship places of the persecuted religious community have come under attack. In one such incident, police in Wazirabad destroyed the minarets of a worship place.
