Side Event at the United Nations Women’s Condition and Violence in Wartime
This conference will examine the deterioration of women’s condition in contemporary armed conflicts, with particular attention to the systemic violence — physical, sexual, psychological and structural — they endure in the Sudan crisis. International experts — lawyers, human rights defenders, psychologists and humanitarian practitioners — will share their field experience and legal expertise to enrich the analysis of existing protection mechanisms.

Pakistan: An Ahmadi Official Removed from Post After Extremist Pressure Campaign
On 8 August 2026, the Punjab Land Records Authority transferred Naghman Ahmad, an Ahmadi Muslim, from his post as Assistant Director in Lalian following an extremist campaign by Khatm-e-Nabuwwat groups. They publicly celebrated his removal as an ideological victory. The administrative order, devoid of professional justification, violates Articles 18, 25, 26 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, illustrating the subordination of Pakistan’s state apparatus to sectarian pressure.

Eighty Incidents in Eighteen Months: IHRC Launches Its Report on the Persecution of Ahmadis in Pakistan at Jalsa Salana UK
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.
