  India: Multiple hate killings on train by RPF constable Chetan Singh! - Statement by PUCL Maharashtra (Aug 7, 2023)

  8 August 2023

  With unity and purpose, we have come together as a collective to initiate the first Minority Rights March. People who don’t belong to the majority religion are persecuted in Pakistan every day. We see increasing attacks of discrimination and violence against Christian and Hindu communities, we see young and underage girls from these faiths being forcibly converted and married - against their will. While people of the minority faiths face everyday violence and discrimination and the large looming threat of the misuse of the blasphemy law causes fear and insecurity for young and old.
