Lord Alton of Liverpool visited Bangkok in 2015 where he witnessed miserable conditions of Pakistani Christian asylum seekers in Immigration Detention Center IDC and recorded their testimonies of persecution in Islamic Republic of Pakistan which forced them to flee from their homeland on which he organized hearings in UK parliament. Lord David Alton who is Vice-Chair, All Party Parliamentary Group APPG on International Freedom of Religion or Belief launched its inquiry report in Westminster on February 24, 2016, which maintained that UK Government policy on freedom of religion in Pakistan is inadequate while Christians, Ahmadi and Hindus are facing persecution.
