Prevent the deportation of family Chaudhry

The family was forced to leave their home country Pakistan, because they are a member of a religious minority, the ´Ahmadiyya´ , which is a special kind of the muslim belief. Before their escape from Pakistan, the family got multiple death threats. As several people from their near relations got executed, the family decides to escape from Pakistan.

At first, family Chaudhry lived in Italy for seven years, where the father had a job. After his death, the family could no longer subtain itself. Because of the insufficient financial support of the Italian authorities, the mother decided to flee on to Germany. Family Chaudhry has already been living in Germany for 5 years. All children have visited kindergartens and schools in our city during this time. The whole family is integrated in the public and social life.

The ´Ahmadiyya´ is a special Islamic community. The community feels like a part of the Islam, but in the point of view of most other muslims, the ´Ahmadiyya´ is a heresy and get declined. In Islamic countries, the religious community get batteled accordingly, what led to constraints and pursuit.

A deportation back to Pakistan would mean mortal danger for the family. Even the Federal Foreign Office displays a travel advice for Pakistan:

´There is still an increased risk of terrorist attacks across the country, particularly on religious goals (such as Sufi shrines, mosques) or high, other symbolic value (especially public buildings and facilities). On February 16, 2017 a heavy attack happened on the Lal Shahbaz Qalandar Shrine in the southern Pakistani city of Sehwan, which attracted thousands of believers every week. There were numerous death sacrifices and injuries. On February 13, 2017, a bomb explosion took place in Lahore, in the north of the country, which also claimed death sacrifices.

The Pakistani security forces have significantly strengthened their actions against terrorist and extremist forces in the country. In particular, the operations against terrorists and extremists in northern Wasiristan are continuing. Given the revenge of terrorist elements across the country, special attention should be paid to the planning of travel to Pakistan.´

We ask for your support, to enable the family a life in Germany which is save and free from danger. Thanks for your support!
