I am writing as a concerned constituent and global citizen committed to human rights and religious freedom. I request your immediate attention and support for a formal complaint submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) concerning Pakistan’s systematic persecution of religious minorities.
This landmark complaint — filed on February 12, 2025, by a courageous Pakistani citizen — is a rare act of moral defiance against state complicity in decades of religious violence. It is backed by over 60 prominent individuals and organizations across faiths and nations, under the coordination of the Hindus Advancing Human Rights Initiative (HAHRI), an initiative of HinduPACT.
It documents what legal scholars and human rights experts now recognize as a “drip-drip genocide” — a long-term, systematic erosion of the Hindu, Christian, and, Sikh populations of Pakistan through coercion, discrimination, abduction, forced conversions, and state-enabled terror.
The urgency of this complaint was tragically underscored on April 22, 2025, when 25 Hindu tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir were executed by Islamist terrorists. The attackers, aligned with Pakistan-backed groups, demanded passengers recite Islamic declarations — killing those who either could not or refused.
This was not random violence. It was ideological terrorism. It targeted individuals for being Hindu.
These atrocities mirror Pakistan’s broader record of persecution, including:
The reduction of Hindus from 23% of Pakistan’s population in 1947 to under 3% today;
The unchecked rise of blasphemy violence and textbook hate against non-Muslims;
A consistent pattern of forced conversions, child marriages, and mob attacks with legal impunity.

We ask your office to support the following actions:
- Formally recognize the Pahalgam massacre as a religiously motivated terrorist atrocity.
- Support the HAHRI-coordinated UNHRC complaint, validating its evidence-based demands under international law.
- Advocate for U.S. designation of Pakistan as a "Country of Particular Concern" for religious persecution.
- Push for a UN Security Council referral for an international investigation into the long-term targeting of Hindus and other minorities.
- Champion a Congressional resolution or hearing addressing the global rise of anti-Hindu hate and genocide denial.
- This initiative is not just Hindu — it is human. It is supported by Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist, interfaith, and secular voices who refuse to look away.
We urge you to be among those voices — for the sake of justice, conscience, and the universal right to believe freely and live without fear.
