E/CN.4/1992/52 page 77 'Subject to law, public order and morality, every citizen shall have the right to profess, practice and propagate his religion and to establish, maintain and manage religious institutions.1 6. As regards the arrests/sentences of Ahmadis on the ground of wearing Kalima badges and pasting of verses of Holy Quran, it may be stated that the Ahmadis have been prohibited to use Islamic nomenclature, epithets and titles, etc., under an amendment in the Pakistan Penal Code. The use of these practices by the Ahmadis is a sacrilegious activity from the point of view of the Muslim community which believes in the finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBH) whereas the Ahmadis take their infidel head, Ghulam Ahmad, as an incarnation of Prophethood. It is also worth mentioning that Ahmadis knowingly violate the law of the land so as to get a case registered against them. These cases are later used as a tool to get political asylum abroad and to augment propaganda of alleged persecution of their coreligionalists inside Pakistan. 7. The Ahmadis in Pakistan enjoy full civil rights including the right of franchise. In Pakistan a system of separate elections for each religious community has been adopted to ensure that all minorities are represented in the legislatures. 8. The Ahmadis have full freedom of expression in Pakistan under the law. This is evident from the fact that they have the largest number of publications brought out by any minority in Pakistan. As regards the prohibition of publication of the daily Al-Fazal for two months, this action was taken in the public interest as the newspaper had been acting in a manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order and the action was essential to avoid sectarian unrest and to ensure public safety. 9. There is no discrimination as regards employment in Pakistan. Article 27 (1) of the Constitution provides that: 'No citizen who otherwise qualifies for appointment in the services of Pakistan shall be discriminated against in respect of any appointment on the ground of sect, religion, sex, residence or place of birth.1 10. Some members of the Ahmadi community hold important positions in the services of Pakistan, both civil and military. Not a single Ahmadi has been dismissed from government employment on the ground of his religion. 11. In 1989, some clashes between Ahmadis and Muslims took place at Nankana Sahib and Chak Sikandar (Kharian) resulting in damage to life and property. A report on these incidents is at appendix I. It would be seen from this report that provocation was not one—sided. 12. Islam enjoins the most tolerant treatment of minorities. In his farewell address to his followers, the Prophet of Islam (Peace Be Upon Him) said that on the Day of Judgement he would bear witness on behalf of the minorities. Therefore, for Muslims religious tolerance is not merely a moral obligation but a religious duty. A thousand years in history, when Islam was in political ascendancy, bear testimony to this tolerance and coexistence with minorities. In any event, it would be quite clear to anyone familiar with the true situation in Pakistan, that there exist no plan or campaign, official or otherwise, to persecute the Ahmadi community."
