Mr. Tanveer has reported these threats to the police, but they have shown little interest and after a week, no “FIR” (First Information Report) – the initial documentation of a criminal act – has been filed.

Pakistani journalist Rana Tanveer has received death threats at his home in Lahore for writing about religious minorities in the country.
According to Mr. Tanveer, he moved to his current home just under one and a half years ago so that his daughter could attend a local school. Three months ago, his landlord began receiving calls from an unknown number advising him to evict Mr. Tanveer and his family, saying that he is a “kafir” and an “enemy of Islam.” Recently, Mr. Tanveer came home and found his home vandalized.
The threat reads, “Qadiani nawaz Rana Tanveer kafir wajib ul qatl,” which means, “Qadiani supporter Rana Tanveer is an unbeliever who deserves to be killed.” “Qadiani” is a derogatory term for Ahmadi Muslims.
