Immediate Risk of Yet Another Deportation of an Ahmadi Muslim from Germany : Ali Ahmad Mubashar
Returning a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to a country where his life and safety are at serious risk would be a clear breach of Germany’s obligations under international human rights law and the Convention against Torture (CAT). This includes a prohibition on sending anyone to a place where they would be at risk of such abuse. The principle of non- refoulement applies to everyone including persons who are excluded from refugee protection. We urge that the German authorities to take immediate and swift action and ensure the safety of these individuals by not deporting them back to Pakistan where they will most certainly face grave and life-threatening danger. The German authorities should grant them protection and stop deportation immediately.

Today, 5 March 2022, at 17:00 in Bazid Khel, Peshawar, two assailants entered the clinic of an Ahmadi Doctor, Dr. Mansoor Ahmad. One assailant was wearing a burqa in disguise and arrived shouting that he was in great pain. After this he began to fire rounds. Dr. Muhammad Shahid Ahmad (who was sitting in place of Dr. Mansoor Ahmad Sahib and was attending to patients) was hit in the head due to which he passed away at the clinic. Another member of staff, Mr. Jawad Ahmad, took a bullet to the leg and was injured. After this both assailants fled the scene. It should be noted that both the deceased and injured were not Ahmadis.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Khojaly massacre of civilians, and over the past 30 years there have been many peace initiatives to ensure that the massacre is properly recognised. It has been described by Human Rights Watch as “the largest massacre in the conflict” in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Russia: UN General Assembly should suspend Russia’s membership of UN Human Rights Council
Likewise, in its Resolution 49/1 adopted on 4 March 2022, the Human Rights Council ‘condemned in the strongest possible terms the human rights violations and abuses and violations of international humanitarian law resulting from the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine’. The Council expressed ‘grave concern at the documented harm to the enjoyment of many human rights, including the rights to life, education, and the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, caused by Russian shelling and bombing in populated areas’. Further, Council resolution 49/1 expressed grave concern at reports of ‘gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights’, thereby invoking the explicit language of GA Resolution 60/251 in so far as concerns the threshold
for suspension
