Pakistan is among the top five source countries in UK immigration tribunals. This guide outlines the political, religious, and security issues most frequently addressed in Pakistan expert reports.
Why Pakistan Expert Reports Matter
Pakistan has consistently featured among the highest source countries for asylum claims in the United Kingdom. Claims arise across a wide range of grounds — religious persecution, political opinion, gender-based violence, forced marriage, honour crime, and ethnicity. A robust country expert report tailored to the individual circumstances of your client can be decisive in securing a positive outcome.
Common Issues Addressed in Pakistan Expert Reports
- Religious persecution — particularly for Ahmadis, Christians, and minority sects
- Blasphemy law prosecutions and mob violence
- Political party affiliations and risks from state and non-state actors
- Honour killings and gender-based violence
- Forced conversions
- State protection — is it available, accessible, and effective?
- Internal relocation — is it reasonable given the individual's profile?
State Protection and Internal Relocation
Two key questions in almost every Pakistan asylum case are whether the state can offer adequate protection and whether internal relocation is feasible. An expert report that engages substantively with these questions — drawing on current human rights reports, judicial findings, and country conditions — will carry significant weight before the First-tier Tribunal.
