A 12 October 2017 Al Jazeera news report on the Pakistani blasphemy law's use against Ahmadis, reporting the Ahmadi community's own collected figure that more than 250 Ahmadis have been killed for their faith since Pakistan's 1984 anti-Ahmadi ordinances.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Mainstream international news reporting a community-collected figure rather than either a scholarly count or the community's own primary publication; tier 2 because the number itself is second-hand from Al Jazeera's perspective, not because the reporting is unreliable.
Notes
The figure is attributed by the article itself to data collected by the Ahmadi community rather than to an independent tally; used here as a named-source floor, not a ceiling, since no independently audited aggregate could be identified. 1
