SIR – All right-minded people must be horrified at the destruction and murder perpetrated against Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan.

I have frequently written to the Pakistan Embassy trying to persuade their government to meet the requirements of their own constitution.

The persecution of this gentle, peace-loving Muslim sect is an international disgrace. Other Muslim countries also need to stand up against the dark forces of violent religious persecution.

Time for our new foreign secretary William Hague to earn his inflated ministerial salary perhaps?
