Shadows of endless nights

During the ghastly summer of 1974, five Ahmadi students in Multan were ruthlessly beaten. Prof. Abbas bin Abdul Qadir was killed in Hyderabad. On September 7th 1974, the day when Ahmadi Muslims were declared Non-Muslim, five Ahmadi students were expelled from a Faisalabad university. Two students were forced to ride a donkey through city streets with their faces painted black. Later, Master Ziauddin Arshad, a teacher in Sargodha, was murdered.
