E/CN.4/1992/52 page 78 Appendix I "A. Incident of Nankana Sahib The incident took place due to the alleged burning of the Holy Quran by an Ahmadi on 10 April 1989 in Chak No. 563/GB, Tehsil Jaranwala, Distt. Faisalabad. Chak No. 563/GB is only 5-6 miles from Nankana Sahib and repercussions were feared there as well, and the local administration spared no effort to pre-empt the situation. The Assistant Commissioner, Nankana Sahib and [a] subdivisional police officer held a meeting of local respectables on 11 April 1989 to discuss the issue. All the participants assured that although a procession [would] be taken out by them on 12 April 1989 to voice their resentment over the burning of the Holy Quran, they [would] however, remain peaceful. But unfortunately, the [participants in the] procession, who were joined by local college students, ran riot and resorted to vandalism. The procession went unruly and damaged a Qadiani place of worship. The warning administered by the Assistant Commissioner, Nankana Sahib was not heeded by the rioters, whereupon tear-gas shells were fired. The mob dispersed into splinter groups and started burning the household articles of about 12-13 Qadianis located in the city. More tear-gas shells were fired to disperse the hooligans. The local administration saved the lives of several Qadianis by retrieving them from the houses. However, 15 houses of Qadianis were partly damaged and nine policemen, including DSP/SDPO, injured. Rioters were chased and 59 of them were arrested. Two cases, FIR No. 123 and 124/89 dated 12 April 1989, under sections 308/452/332/353/39/397/506/436/148/149/PPC, were registered at the Nankana Sahib police station for investigation and trial in the court of law.

The armed Ahmadis resorted to indiscriminate firing as a result of which Ahmad Ali (Muslim) died on the spot, while Muhammad Asghar and Fateh Ali were seriously injured. In addition to this the accused Ahmadis also set on fire the house and belongings of Khalid Hussain, Adalat Khan and Abdul Ghafoor. In retaliation for the aggressive steps taken by the Ahmadis, the Muslims of the area also gathered and they also resorted to firing at the Ahmadis resulting in death of three Ahmadis, namely Nazir Ahmad, Rafique and Mst. Nabila. On having learnt about this incident, police rushed to the spot. The SP/DSP and the Assistant Commissioner, Kharian were promptly informed by wireless and they also reached the village immediately. On their
