Abhinage about the continued harassment on minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Geneva exhibition

Geneva, September 12 (IANS). An exhibition arranged by the Global Human Rights Defense (GHRD) at the prestigious place -ones nations next to the broken chairman Memorial in Geneva has emphasized the oppression and violation of human rights by poor minorities facing poor minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh. The three -day program, which lasted from September 8 to 10, attracted much attention to the general public, civil society and international audiences workers. The exhibition by influential posters, statistical evidence and paintings of the victims raised the voice of Ahmadiyya, Sindh and Baloch communities as well as Hindu, Buddhist and Christian minorities in Bangladesh, which were often silenced or ignored. In a statement issued by Ghrd, it is said: “These groups are staring at sanctions for systematic discrimination, targeted violence, forced repentance, kidnapping and freedom of religion or belief. In Pakistan, members of the Ahmadiyya community are legally denied and often suffer from hate campaigns, while Baloch and Sindhi activists often become victims of the perpetrators.” “Religious minorities in Bangladesh have threatening, destruction of places of worship and are marginalized in political and social life. In both countries, victims often do not get justice and safety, which often causes misconduct.” The exhibition attracted extensive audiences, emphasizing the immediate need for systemic discrimination and atrocities by these groups in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Visitors studied the material deeply, of which many soulful statements of Solidarity gave and demanded more international awareness and actions. The tremendous public reception of the exhibition shows the increasing concern about the situation of minorities in South Asia. The Ghrd has called on the United Nations, international policymakers and human rights organizations to protect poorer communities and take concrete steps to make criminals accountable. Earlier this week, a program entitled ‘Voice: Protecting Minority Rights in South Asia’ in the 60th Human Rights Council in Geneva drew attention to a worrying situation in South Asia, especially religious oppression in Pakistan and the target of Hindus and indigenous groups in Bangladesh. The Ghrd with his colleagues hosted the event, attended by at least 50 members of civil society, missions and permanent representatives, including Greece, Denmark, China, India and Bangladesh. -Ians DKP/
