The status of non-Muslims in Pakistan and the religious freedom of Muslims in China is not hidden from the world. The US has once again put Pakistan and China in the list of countries where religious freedom is in a critical state, that is, discrimination and oppression of people on the basis of religion. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave this information on Friday.

In this list, apart from Pakistan and China, Myanmar, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan are included. Mike Pompeo said that the countries on the list are involved in serious violations of religious freedom or are allowing it to happen.

The State Department has again put Russia, Comoros, Uzbekistan on the special watch list alleging very serious violations of religious freedom. It also includes Cuba, Nigeria and Sudan.

Recently the United Nations has also said that the situation of religious freedom in Pakistan is continuously deteriorating. The Hindu and Christian communities there are the most threatened. The women and girls of both these communities are abducted and converted. According to the report of the UN Commission on the Condition of Women (CSW), the Imran Khan government is promoting radical ideas for attacking minorities.
