Sindhi community members protest against forced conversation of Hindu girls
Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) Chairman Sohail Abro has urged international human rights organizations to intervene for the safe release of young Hindu girl Priya Kumari.
She reportedly went missing two years ago.
Abro highlighted the alarming trend of Sindhi Hindu girls being forcibly converted and married off to Muslim men, often under the influence of extremist figures in the country, ANI reported.
He criticized the judiciary for siding with individuals accused of such actions and called for justice for victims like Priya Kumari.
“Sindhi Hindu girls are forcibly converted and married off to Muslim men and people like Mian Mithu are free to do such activities. Even when girls express their desire to go with their family, courts refuse to do so as they are on the side of people like Mian Mithu” Sohail was quoted as saying in his message on social media to ANI.
The extremist cleric Mian Mithu is accused of kidnapping and forcing religious conversions of Hindu teenage girls in Pakistan.
