Pakistan's 'last Jew' recognised by the government
Fishel Benkhald, a 29-year-old activist who is often called 'Pakistan's last surviving Jew', has been allowed by the Interior Ministry to change his religion from Islam to Judaism. Benkhald, who was born to a Muslim father and a Jewish mother, was originally registered as a Muslim. He has also been campaigning to preserve an old Jewish cemetery in Karachi.
