Hindus in London protested outside the Pakistan embassy on Sunday (August 15).

They were protesting against discrimination in Pakistan, particularly the use of expansive blasphemy laws to persecute religious minorities there, such as Hindus and Sikhs.

The demonstration outside the Pakistan High Commission was called after an 8-year-old boy became the youngest to be charged with blasphemy, when he was accused of urinating in a madrassa.

Public outrage led to charges, which carry a maximum penalty of death, recently being dropped.
