ISLAMABAD: Facebook said on Wednesday it has removed a profile frame about the Ahmadi community.

Profile frames are filters Facebook users can add to their pictures that often promote a cause, celebrate a holiday, or commemorate an event or tragedy.

The frame withdrawn by Facebook reportedly called for the death of the Ahmadis in Urdu and was widely shared in Pakistan. `We have removed the Profile Frames in question for violating our rules, and have ensured that they`re unavailable for future use,` a Facebook spokesperson said via email. `We do not tolerate any content -including anything shared within Profile Frames that incites violence, and we remove this content whenever we become aware of it.

The frame was used by Pakistani Facebook users after US President Donald Trump met several leading members of religious groups in the White House earlier this month, including a representative from Pakistan`s Ahmadi community.-AFP
