Malaysia has already returned 1,476 people to Burma and plans call for thousands more to be sent back. Malaysia’s own Human Rights Commission has urged the government to halt further returns, warning that people could face persecution, torture or other serious harm in Burma.

Justice for All Stands with Asma Elhuni
Imam Saffet Catovic, Director of UN Operations for Justice for All, joined community members and immigrant rights advocates outside Trenton Municipal Court on September 29 to speak in defense of human rights defender Asma Elhuni ahead of her court appearance.
Elhuni, an organizer with Resistencia en Acción NJ, was arrested by Trenton Police after ICE agents called police to report her. She was observing and documenting ICE activity, warning neighbors, and informing residents of their rights—actions consistent with New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust Directive and state law.
Speaking at the press conference, Imam Catovic said: “Asma was not obstructing justice. She was pursuing it. When masked federal agents enter our neighborhoods and detain our neighbors without judicial warrants, it is not obstruction to bear witness. It is worship and service-a duty to God.” Imam Catovic called for Elhuni’s immediate release and urged accountability for the Trenton Police Department, noting that New Jersey has clearly stated local police shall not serve as ICE’s deputies.
Justice for All remains committed to defending the right of all people to observe, document, and peacefully respond to government actions in their communities.
A New Approach to Interfaith Dialogue: Truth-Telling, Confession, Repentance & Shared Principles.
On Thursday, October 1, 2026, Faith Beyond Religious Nationalism launched the first in a series of conversations at The Riverside Church in New York City. The dialogue was titled, “A New Approach to Interfaith Dialogue: Truth-Telling, Confession, Repentance & Shared Principles.”
Its purpose was to help religious communities examine how their traditions can be used to justify exclusion and political domination and ways practicing faith communities can learn from each to resist the weaponization of religion.
The first gathering focused on Hinduism and Hindutva, distinguishing the religious tradition from Hindu nationalism and Zionism as distinguished from Judaism. Imam Shamsi Ali , of the Al-Hikmah Mosque and the Director of Jamaica Muslim Center in Jamaica, Queens, New York City.and Rev. Adriene Thorne, senior pastor of The historic Riverside Church opened with reflections on deeper interfaith understanding. Imam Saffet Catovic represented Justice for All.
Rev. Neal Christie and Rev. Peter Cook explained how religious identity becomes fused with privilege, political power and myths of national belonging. Sunita Viswanath from Hindus for Human Rights explored Hindu faith, diversity, and its resources for liberation. Rev. Dr. John Thatamanil from Union Theological Seminary examined Hindu nationalism’s distortion of Hinduism. Peter Beinart, a noted journalist, broadened the discussion of faith and nationalism and Zionism.
Additional dialogues are planned Faith Beyond Religious Nationalism welcomes masjids to host these events.
