Islamabad : April 17, 2011. Human Right Commission of Pakistan issued annual report presenting dire situation of minorities in Pakistan. The report said that 64 persons were arrested under blasphemy law while Hindus and Sikhs were forced to leave their homes in different parts of Pakistan. HRCP reports pointed that about 25 percent of Sikhs in Orakzai Agency were forced to leave their homes and 27 Hindu families sought asylum in India due to security threats and called 2010 a particularly bad year for minorities. The report released on Thursday said that about 25 percent of the 102 Sikh families in Orakzai Agency had to leave after Taliban asked them to pay Jaziya or leave the area. The Sikhs could return only after a major military operation. It also said that at least 27 Hindu families had sought asylum in India due to security threats. The report "State of Human Rights in 2010" said there were few positive developments in Pakistan with regard to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. It stated that there had been a string of faith-based attacks in which not only were minorities targeted but 418 Muslims belonging to various sects were also killed. "All indications suggest that there are even worse times ahead.” "Extremist views grew more vociferous as voices for basic human rights and tolerance became more isolated in face of violence and intimidation," the report said. Criticizing the police, the report stated that it was not doing enough to protect the minorities from attacks and had also been accused of harassing or being complicit in framing false charges. According to HRCP report “A Muslim and two Christian men accused of blasphemy were killed in police custody” Mentioning the law and order situation, it said about 12,580 people were murdered and 581 kidnapped for ransom. At least 16,977 abduction cases were reported. As many as 1,159 people, included 1,041 civilians, were killed in 67 suicide attacks.
