Where borders end, rights don’t. Because human rights are universal.

Disgraceful! While #Pakistan enjoys #EU trade perks, #Christian girls are being stolen, forcibly converted & married to men twice their age. 210 cases, courts turning blind eye. Enough excuses —prosecute the predators & stop this state-enabled nightmare.

Disgraceful! #Pakistan's courts handed a 13yr old #Christian girl, Maria Shahbaz, to her abductor.

The #EuropeanParliament finally spoke out, but this should never have happened. Stop #forcedconversions & child marriages. #Minorities deserve protection, not persecution.

350+ #Christians massacred in Tegina, #Nigeria by Fulani jihadists—shot, hacked, burned alive for not converting. Men, women, children targeted in cold blood. This isn't 'farmer clashes'—it's #religious slaughter. The world stays silent as Nigeria bleeds.

The traditional gavage practice of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania is a custom that forcibly fattens girls aged 5-15 for marriage.

Force-fed milk or high-calorie foods multiple times a day. If they refuse, they are subjected to torture and having their toes crushed.

Pakistani girl destroys 77 yrs of history with one basket? While 40% live in poverty, kids starve without nutrition.

Selling churan & calling Salahuddin Ayubi mentally ill. Pakistanis, stop buying this delusion. Fix reality first.

Horrific: A #Christian mother in #Nigeria was forced to watch #Islamists slit the throats of her husband and two little children — 3 years old and 10 months old. They chopped off her hand and left her and her 7-year-old son to bleed out.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) Condemns Shameful Life Sentence for Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Shah by Pakistani Authorities

The Hague, The Netherlands – June 23, 2026 – The International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) expresses its strongest condemnation regarding the reprehensible life sentence handed down by a Pakistani Anti-Terrorism Court to prominent human rights defender Dr. Mahrang Baloch and her colleague, Sibghatullah Shah .

This verdict is a blatant miscarriage of justice and a devastating blow to the rule of law in Pakistan. Dr. Baloch, a leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), has been a fearless and peaceful voice for the Baloch people, courageously campaigning against enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and state repression in Balochistan . Her only crime is her dedication to exposing grave human rights violations .

The IHRF is deeply alarmed by the egregious procedural irregularities and denial of due process that characterized this “secret trial” . A proceeding that denies the accused the right to effectively cross-examine witnesses or present a proper defense, held in a “faceless court” on jail premises, cannot be considered a legitimate judicial process . This is not justice; it is a politically motivated weaponization of the judicial system to silence dissent and intimidate human rights defenders .

We echo the calls of Amnesty International and other international bodies, who have condemned this verdict as an affront to the right to a fair trial . The state’s cynical misuse of anti-terrorism laws to prosecute peaceful activism represents a dangerous escalation in the crackdown on fundamental freedoms in Pakistan .

The IHRF urges the Government of Pakistan to immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Shah, and to ensure their safety and well-being.

We call upon the international community, including the United Nations Human Rights Council, to:

1. Denounce this injustice and place Pakistan under close scrutiny for its escalating human rights violations.
2. Demand transparency in all legal proceedings against human rights defenders and a full investigation into the circumstances of this case.
3. Pressure Pakistani authorities to cease the persecution of peaceful activists and uphold their international obligations regarding due process and fundamental rights.

The IHRF stands in solidarity with Dr. Mahrang Baloch, Sibghatullah Shah, and all peaceful activists in Pakistan who risk their lives for justice and human dignity.

Egypt on #USCIRF Watch List for persecuting Coptic #Christians via blasphemy law: forced conversions, ignored abductions, church seizures, converts charged with terrorism.

Yet it's Washington's Sudan mediator & EU migration partner. Not moderate—an Islamist state with good PR.

Horrific: Taliban attacked police checkpost in #KPK, torched DSP Shehin’s house. 15+ police & 30+ civilians injured, 3 dead. Mortars hitting civilians as clashes continue.

Another barbaric #Taliban assault. #Pakistan must crush these terrorists now — no more denial.

The #Taliban are codifying the oppression of women and girls. A law that enables child marriage and erases meaningful consent is not justice—it's institutionalized abuse. The world must stop normalizing this brutality.

Statement for the International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF)

Date: June 9, 2026

Subject: Pakistan: Designation of Peaceful Protest Movement as “Terrorist” Organization Marks Dangerous Escalation in Jammu and Kashmir Crackdown

The International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) strongly condemns the Pakistani authorities’ violent and sweeping crackdown on peaceful protests in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, which has included an internet shutdown, mass arbitrary arrests, and the deadly use of force. This escalation represents a grave deterioration of human rights in the region.

On June 5, 2026, regional authorities issued a notification designating the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC)—a grassroots movement advocating for the economic and political rights of the local population—as a “proscribed organization” under the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Terrorism Act, 2014. Branding a civil society body as “terrorist” on vague grounds, while simultaneously sealing the region from outside scrutiny, constitutes a disproportionate and unlawful violation of the right to freedom of association.

Concurrent actions—including the suspension of all internet and mobile networks until June 12, a travel advisory ordering outsiders to leave the region, and the deployment of federal paramilitary troops—have effectively sealed Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, severely impeding the flow of information and reports of abuses. Journalists covering the protests, such as Sohrab Barkat, have been arrested under electronic crimes laws for allegedly “promoting” the JKJAAC.

The crackdown has turned lethal. On the night of June 5, activist Shahzeb Habib was shot during an encounter with police under circumstances that suggest no imminent threat to officers; he later died from his injuries. On June 7, following the transfer of his body for autopsy, clashes between protesters and law enforcement in Rawalakot resulted in the deaths of at least eight protesters and four police officers, with dozens more injured on both sides. On 8th and 9th June 2026, reportedly more than 25 people, including a woman have been killed by the Pakistani security forces.

The IHRF calls for:

1. An independent, transparent inquiry into the alleged extrajudicial killing of Shahzeb Habib and all unlawful deaths of protesters and police officers in Rawalakot, with those responsible held accountable in line with international human rights standards.
2. Immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to international principles on the use of force—only as a last resort, and with necessity and proportionality.
3. The immediate lifting of the unlawful ban on the JKJAAC and the restoration of internet and mobile networks, as well as freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
4. Urgent steps to facilitate peaceful assemblies ahead of the announced regional elections on July 27, 2026, in compliance with Pakistan’s international human rights obligations.

The International Human Rights Foundation remains deeply concerned by the recurring pattern of crackdowns on JKJAAC protests, including deadly violence in May 2024 and October 2025. Without prompt corrective action, the authorities risk further loss of life and a complete erosion of fundamental rights in the region.

BREAKING: Another Islamist massacre in #Ethiopia — at least 50 #Christians slaughtered in targeted attacks.

Where the hell is the global outrage? Deliberate faith-based slaughter, yet the world stays silent. This systematic persecution must end. #EndChristianPersecution

[Rights Without Borders @RightsWBorders]

#Afghanistan: #Taliban just opened fire on civilians in #Herat protesting forced burqas and morality police thugs. One killed, 20+ wounded—including a 13-year-old child. Gunmen targeted heads, chests, legs as people fled. This is the barbarism the West is normalizing. Shameful!

Targeted attacks on homes & churches. Deliberate massacre of #Ethiopian Christians in #Oromia. World ignores this systematic slaughter. Silence enables genocide.
