"Religious minorities continue to suffer at an alarming rate, with several high-profile attacks on religious communities. Women of minority faiths, particularly Hindus and Christians, endure abductions, rape, and forced conversions, before forced marriages to Muslim men. Draconian blasphemy and apostasy laws are used to harass Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians. Such harassment, including long periods of pre-trial imprisonment, is done in collaboration with local judicial and law enforcement authorities. These and other discriminatory laws have left minorities as second class citizens and vulnerable to attacks by non-state actors."
