Behind the structure lie individual lives. Dr. Sheikh Mahmood, a 58-year-old gastroenterologist, was shot dead inside his own hospital in Sargodha on 16 May 2025, after hate flyers naming Ahmadi professionals as “worthy of death” had circulated nationwide. Tahir Mahmood, aged 71, arrested for attending Friday prayers, died in police custody after being beaten and denied bail. Muhammad Asif, a 19-year-old student, was murdered in Kasur in April 2025. In October 2025, Rabwah — the community’s headquarters city — came under a coordinated extremist attack after days of open incitement, with law enforcement largely absent. And on 27 December 2025, a court sentenced Mubarak Sani to life imprisonment for memorising and teaching the Qur’an, a ruling the report describes as extending state punishment from expression into the realm of belief and conscience itself.

The Amhara International Alliance condemns Ethiopia’s full-scale military campaign in the Amhara Region, pursued even as the government promotes its National Dialogue Forum to the international community. The Alliance denounces the dialogue as political theater masking indiscriminate violence: drone strikes and heavy weaponry have hit civilians and historic churches, including in Dega Damot, West Gojam, deepening a manufactured humanitarian crisis. It calls for independent investigations, an immediate end to operations against civilians, and unhindered humanitarian access, arguing peace cannot be built on casualties.

A joint submission by ICHR, ODL and SWOP to the 54th UPR session exposes Sudan’s near-total implementation gap since 2022, geographical selectivity in documenting violations, and the ideological capture of the Sudanese Armed Forces. The report calls for unhindered humanitarian access, independent investigations into alleged chemical weapons use, and restoration of civilian rule. Recommending states must ensure the UPR does not become a shield for impunity.
