Palestine; Apartheid Fuels Genocide – Israel’s policies under international law
Justice For All’s latest report provides a comprehensive legal and historical analysis of Israel’s apartheid system and how it has contributed to ongoing atrocities against the Palestinian people. The purpose of this report is to advocate for a paradigm shift in framing solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the conventional framework of temporary military occupation to one of protracted settler colonialism and apartheid. The report argues for the end of apartheid.
At the time of writing this report, the world’s attention was focused, not on apartheid, but on a debate over whether or not Israel’s assault on Gaza constitutes genocide. A growing international consensus says that it is genocide. In September 2025, Australia, Canada, France, Portugal and the U.K. joined the majority of the world community in recognizing the State of Palestine.

Reflecting on 250 Years: America’s Founding Ideals and the Unfinished Journey Toward Justice for All
As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Justice For All reflects on the powerful ideals that helped shape this nation and the deep contradictions that remain unresolved.
Adopted on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence proclaimed the inherent rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Yet history shows that this promise was never extended to all. The nation’s founding was marked by the systematic displacement and destruction of Indigenous peoples and the enslavement of African Americans. These genocides were not isolated chapters of the past. Their legacy continues to shape American life today and demands truth, accountability and repair. Read full statement |

India news: Passport not proof of citizenship, ministry says
India is now in a citizenship crisis, at least a created one. The courts in the country have ruled that holding an Indian passport does not establish Indian citizenship. Earlier, it was declared that holding what is called an Adhaar (foundation) card is not proof of citizenship either.
Justice For All is deeply concerned that recent court and government positions on citizenship documents could create another pathway to disenfranchise Indian Muslims. If passports and Aadhaar cards are not treated as conclusive proof of citizenship, targeted communities could be pushed into legal limbo despite holding official identity documents.
This danger must be understood alongside the Citizenship Amendment Act and the BJP-RSS regime’s push for citizenship-verification systems such as the National Register of Citizens. For families without accessible birth records, these developments could turn routine paperwork into a tool of exclusion.

Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign Commemorates the 17th Anniversary of the Shaoguan Massacre
On the 17th anniversary of the Shaoguan Toy Factory Massacre, Justice For All’s Save Uyghur Campaign honors the memory of the Uyghur workers who were killed in violent attacks by Han Chinese workers at the Xuri Toy Factory in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, on June 26, 2009.
Chinese state media reported that at least two Uyghur workers were killed and more than 100 were injured. However, the Chinese government has never fully disclosed what happened, leading many to believe the true death toll was significantly higher. Read for more.

India charges Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik
The State Investigation Agency in Indian-administered Kashmir has filed a 737-page charge sheet in connection with the 1990 abduction and killing of Sarla Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit nurse. The filing names Yasin Malik, then a leading commander of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, and four associates as accused in the case.
According to media reports citing officials, the investigation into the decades-old case was reopened in 2024 before the charge sheet was filed this week.
Malik’s lawyer, Adil Pandit, rejected the allegations, saying, “Nothing has been proven against Yasin Malik in this charge sheet, and it is an attempt to grab headlines using his name.”
Imam Muhammad Abdul Jabbar, Kashmir Action team lead, said the extraordinary delay raises serious due process concerns. After more than three decades, witness memories can fade, key people may no longer be available and evidence must be carefully scrutinized, he said.
“A 737-page charge sheet is not proof of guilt,” Abdul Jabbar said. “What matters is whether the witnesses are credible and whether the evidence is authentic.” |

Report warns new Rohingya refugees face survival crisis in Bangladesh
Thousands of Rohingya who escaped renewed fighting in Burma’s Arakan region now face a new humanitarian crisis in neighboring Bangladesh, where many are struggling to access food, health care and basic services despite reaching relative safety, according to a new report released this week.
The study, “From Arrival to Survival: The Migration Journey and Humanitarian Challenges of Newly Arrived Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh,” published by the Rohingya-led advocacy group Youth Congress Rohingya, is based on interviews with Rohingya refugees who fled escalating violence in northern Arakan during 2024. The report documents how families escaped armed conflict only to face prolonged uncertainty, deprivation and insecurity inside Bangladesh’s refugee camps. Read for more.

A Blessing for the Tent for The ICE Detainees
Imam Saffet Catovic, Director of UN Operations of Justice For All, joined other faith leaders, detainee families, and activists to bless the “Radical Hospitality Tent” outside Delaney Hall in Newark where ICE detainees are held. The tent provides food, water, and aid to visiting families while we continue to document human rights concerns inside. Despite visiting cuts, restricted access, and tense disturbances, advocates remain resilient returning to clean, minister, and pray. We stand with families and partners in this critical work.
