HRC 61 oral statement Item 2 Sudan
Sudan conflict: civilians face executions, torture, sexual violence. UAE supports RSF forces enabling atrocities. States must end support, investigate crimes, prevent prolonged suffering
Conference 228 Incident : 228, the Tai Ji Men Case and the Unfinished Work of Justice
The 228 Incident warns against unchecked authority. Taiwan’s Tai Ji Men case reflects similar concerns: administrative actions contradicting court rulings undermine rule of law and religious freedom protections under international human rights standards
HRC 61 Side event : 1000 days of conflict. 1000 days of civilians suffering the first-hand consequences of the conflict
Sudan faces a humanitarian crisis with mass killings, sexual violence, and displacement. The UN documented genocide indicators in El Fasher and identified external support fueling RSF atrocities. Accountability remains largely absent despite ongoing investigations.
HRC 61 Written Statement : Arbitrary Detention, Enforced Disappearance, Torture, Prolonged Pre-Trial Detention, and Religious Coercion of Members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light in Egypt
Human Right Without Frontiers, International Support for Human Rights and CAP Liberté de Conscience has submitted a joint written statement to the Human Rights Council at its sixty-first session addressing the grave and systematic violations of freedom of religion or belief perpetrated against members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) in Egypt. Since March 2025, Egyptian authorities have detained numerous peaceful adherents of this religious minority solely for expressing their beliefs and possessing religious materials, subjecting them to arbitrary arrest, enforced disappearance lasting over a month, torture, and prolonged pre-trial detention exceeding ten months without trial. The statement documents severe violations including electric shocks, beatings, denial of legal counsel, inhumane prison conditions, and crucially, organized religious coercion through visits by Al-Azhar-affiliated sheikhs explicitly aimed at forcing detainees to renounce their faith. CAP Liberté de Conscience calls upon the Egyptian Government to immediately and unconditionally release all detained AROPL members, investigate torture and enforced disappearances by security forces, end the misuse of pre-trial detention, guarantee fair-trial rights and access to legal representation, and cease all forms of religious coercion in violation of Egypt’s international human rights obligations.
