Re: Atrocities on Minority Hindus in Peshawar, Northwest Frontier Province, Pakistan

Dear Honorable Senators:

This petition aims to draw your attention to the disturbing reports in several

South Asian media outlets (Nov. 7, 2003)*. These reports quote The Daily

Times(http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_31-10-2003_pg7_43),

an English daily based out of Peshawar, which is the capital of the Northwest

Frontier Province in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, about eviction orders

being served by the local authorities upon seventy Hindu families to leave

their ancestral homes, and the demolition of the local Hindu Temple.

The Hindu community currently forms less than three percent ** (17% in 1948) of

the present population of Pakistan. They continue to face rampant

discrimination and persecution in every sphere of life. The goals of this

systematic persecution seem to be the forcible conversion of the minority Hindu

community to the religion of Islam as well as the expulsion of Hindus from their

homes and lands in Pakistan.

Therefore, we, the undersigned, urgently request your support and action in

ensuring the withdrawal of eviction orders from The Peshawar Cantonment Board

as well as ensuring immediate security to the Hindu families in Peshawar.

We greatly appreciate your time and consideration in this extremely important matter.
