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.

HRC 61 Written Statement Ensuring Justice in the Sudan: Extending Accountability for Crimes Against Humanity

At the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, CAP Liberté de Conscience submitted a written statement highlighting the catastrophic human rights situation in Sudan and the urgent need for extended accountability. The submission documents heinous crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), including summary executions, sexual violence, and mass killings in areas like El Fasher and the Zamzam camp, while noting the RSF’s systematic attempts to destroy evidence. CAP LC emphasizes the necessity of extending the UN Security Council’s ICC referral beyond Darfur to cover all regions of Sudan, ensuring justice for crimes against humanity nationwide. Additionally, the statement exposes the critical role of foreign actors, particularly the United Arab Emirates, in supplying weapons that sustain the RSF’s operations. Consequently, CAP LC calls on Member States to cease arms transfers to the RSF, condemn the UAE’s involvement, impose sanctions on perpetrators and enablers, and support international mechanisms for evidence preservation and accountability.
