Mehdi Foundation International faces persecution in Pakistan
Mehdi Foundation International is an Interfaith spiritual Institute. We preach and practise the Goharian Philosophy of Divine Love. Divine Love is the essence of all religions. According to Goharian Philosophy; divine love can be obtained through practice of spiritual sciences. Spirituality is all about reviving, awakening and enlightening the dormant souls. People of all religions may learn the spiritual sciences, as this sacred knowledge is not confined to any specific religion.

A brief Introduction to His Holiness Gohar Shahi
His Holiness Ra Gohar Shahi is a spiritual master, the messenger of Love and peace. His Holiness is from Pakistan. He started to render His spiritual Grace in 1980. He managed to change lives, hearts and attitude of millions of people within Pakistan and abroad. Pakistan populates the majority of Muslims who consist of many sects that includes extremists and religious terrorists too. His Holiness Gohar Shahi’s broaden and enlightening ideology disturbs the sectarian elements. His Holiness emphasizes on acquisition of divine love. He hardly considers if ritual and exterior worship is as essential as purification of inner is. The Notion of Divine Love is naïve to Muslims. The Islamist extremists vehemently oppose His Holiness Ra Gohar Shahi. As the disciples of Goharian Philosophy increased in number, The Islamist extremists and sectarian elements within the Pakistan Government started to persecute His Holiness and His following. We are victim of continual pestering, harassment and persecution by Pakistan Government.

Double Standards of Pakistan Government
The pragmatic regime of General Pervez Musharraf may have lessened the intensity of extremism to a certain degree in the country, but influx of sectarian elements within the government, does not allow the citizens, to exercise the choice of religious freedom. Pervez Musharraf can do considerably well, only if he personally scrutinize the judiciary and Police department.
 

Abuse of Blasphemy Laws
The Extremists instigate false cases of blasphemy against their rival sects, whereas the Police, under pressure from extremists, and their own sectarian bias, impose sections of blasphemy laws on innocent people. The blasphemy laws are instigated in order to settle personal scores. The accused is not granted a bail, and usually shot in jail by inmates.

Blasphemy Cases against MFI members
The extremists have instigated case of blasphemy against hundreds of MFI members in Pakistan, which includes the MFI President Hafiz Mohammad Farid and Hafiz Nadeem Siddiqui, who had to take asylum in the United Kingdom.

Illegal Arrest of MFI members in Pakistan
The Pakistan Police is currently making illegal arrest of MFI members all over the country. Dozens of peace activists have been arrested within a couple of days. Our members are made subject to severe physical and mental torture in the police cells. The Police take our members blind-folded to unknown places, and they do not allow them to inform the families of their arrest.

Appeal to the International Media
We appeal to the international media to highlight this issue, so that the outcry of the victim may be heard. We have knocked every door. We have tried to draw attention of international media to our problem, but we still await any positive response.
