Ahmadi Lawyer Severely Injured After Being Attacked With Cleaver In Chiniot

Published on

An Ahmadi lawyer who defends members of the community accused of blasphemy, was attacked with a cleaver by a man associated with Madrasa Khatm-e-Nabuwat, in his chamber in district Chiniot.

The attacker had previously attacked another Ahmadi man and is known to be violent towards the community.

According to a First Information Report (FIR), the attacker identified as Zubair Anwar attacked lawyer Amir Munir in his chamber with a cleaver. Before attacking, Zubair had referred to the cases filed against the Ahmadi community members the lawyer was defending.

Earlier, the Punjab government had formed “inspection committees” to stop libraries and educational institutions across the Chiniot district from keeping the Holy Quran’s translations published by the community.

In a notification issued by the Office of the Deputy Director (Colleges) making rounds on social media, the district administration formed “inspection committees” in the district which are going to inspect “thoroughly” all libraries and educational institutions to ensure they do not possess translations of the Holy Quran published by Ahmadis.

The committees would also take a certificate from the principals of private and public schools confirming that they do not possess translations of the Holy Quran published by Ahmadis.
