Unilateral and arbitrary: Pakistan rejects US report on religious freedom

US' move to place Pakistan on a list of countries violating religious freedoms was termed as 'unilateral and arbitrary' by the Imran Khan-led country on Tuesday. The US has re-designated Pakistan and China among seven other countries that are of particular concern for violation of religious freedom, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday. Pakistan and China along with Myanmar, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan were placed in the list for having engaged in or tolerated “systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom."
