PRESS RELEASE
BRUTAL MURDER OF AHMADI HUBSAND AND WIFE IN PAKISTAN
It is with great pain that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat confirms that two of its
members were brutally murdered in Multan yesterday. The deceased, Dr Shiraz
Ahmad Bajwa and Dr Noreen Bajwa were husband and wife and were both trained
as doctors. Both martyrs were under the age of forty.
Yesterday at around 3.30pm local time, unknown assailants attacked Dr Shiraz and
Dr Noreen at their home in Wapda Colony, Multan Road. The assailants first taped
together the hands, feet and mouths of both victims. They then tied rope around
their necks and strangled them to death. Following death Dr Shiraj was hung from a
nearby fan.

Dr Shiraz was an eye‐specialist who had served at various hospitals including the
Fazl‐e‐Umer Hospital in Rabwah. At the time of his death he was working at a
hospital in Wapda. Similarly Dr Noreen was working at a local children’s hospital.
The Press Spokesman of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Abid Khan said:
“What occurred in Multan yesterday was an act of such cruelty that it can never
be comprehended by decent and peace loving people. Dr Shiraz and Dr Noreen
had been married for just three years. They had both chosen career paths which
allowed them to serve their fellow men, women and children.
Pakistan is a country that is currently facing absolute ruin. Amongst this chaos the
hateful acts of religious extremists are ever increasing, to the extent that loving,
caring and innocent people are being murdered because they belong to a
community whose motto is ‘Love for All, Hatred for None.”
The International Community, Media and Human Rights organisations are all urged
to take action to protect the lives and rights of Ahmadi Muslims both in Pakistan
and in other countries where they face discrimination. In an era where freedom of
religion and belief is accepted as a basic human right throughout the world it is of
disbelief that Ahmadi Muslims are being murdered for no other reason than their
choice of religion.
