Ahmadis Targetted in India

In the town of Atar Akhand, near the larger cities of Dioband and Braily, local opponents are threatening Ahmadis by stating that they must leave the town or they will be murdered. Those behind the threats are sending local Mullahs to all areas inhabited by Ahmadis. Thereafter the Mullahs are subjecting the Ahmadi
population to various forms of severe harassment.

As a further means of concern, in the State of Karnataka persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is also increasing at a disturbing rate. Local Missionaries have been attacked and some have even been kidnapped and taken to the mosques and madrassas of the opponents where they have been issued with various threats.

The persecution in Karnataka is not limited to the pursuit and harassment of individuals; in fact many false reports have been submitted to the local police claiming that Ahmadis are ‘terrorists’. This is leading to Ahmadis being falselyarrested and imprisoned, causing great worry for their families, friends and for the
Jamaat at large. Further, the Mullahs are using their power to order a social boycott of Ahmadis at every opportunity.
