The Russia-Ukraine conflict and Israel’s war on the terrorist group Hamas and various other extremist groups have distracted the attention from conflicts in the Indo-Mediterranean. In Afghanistan the Taliban has completely taken over the country and has launched a diplomatic offensive to gain international acceptance. However, they have disenfranchised the female population banning women from working and studying.

CAP Liberté de Conscience and the International Human Rights Committee (IHRC) are ringing the alarm bells over the continuing erosion of religious freedom in Pakistan.
