Hereâs a thread that explains everything you need to know about Pakistan's systemic forced conversions. If you want to talk about Pakistan, you must understand the system. Trigger warning: s3xual assault. (1)
Recently in Pakistan, a 22-year-old Hindu girl named Vidya was:
- forcibly converted into Islam
- forced to marry an old, Islamist man
- forced to wear a headscarf
- forced to change her Hindu name into an Islamic one, âRani Shaikh" (2)
Vidya is one out of the thousands of Hindu girls in Pakistan who are being systemically persecuted. To help raise awareness for vulnerable Hindus like her, you need to understand how the state of Pakistan facilitates these forced conversions. (3)
Pakistan's blasphemy laws prevent Hindus from talking about their persecution.
Under section 295C of Pakistan's Penal Code, Hindus could face a mandatory death penalty and fine for blasphemy. Legally, their case must be presented under a Muslim judge. (4)
Although at least 3 Hindu girls are kidnapped and forcibly converted into Islam daily in đ”đ°, you rarely hear about it on the news because it could cost Hindu lives to speak up
Amnesty International has stated "there is overwhelming evidence that the laws violate human rightsâ (5)
