Christians dragged from homes and forced to do Hindu rituals in India
Ever since the Bharatiya Janata Party won the elections in the state of Bengal, Muslims have faced increasing discrimination, attacks and persecution. As is expected, that is now being extended to the Christians of the state also. In a recent report by the Indian Express, Christian families were dragged from their homes and forced to perform Hindu rituals over a period of three days.
The Christians of the country have faced sporadic attacks. Most of the ire of the Hindutvadi mobs is directed towards Muslims, but increasingly, Christians have also come under attack.
OUR WORK: Our work bringing the attacks on Christian Churches, especially in the state of Manipur, was followed by Christian groups in the United States to release a strong statement against the handling of the situation by Indian authorities. In a humble gesture, one of the drafters of the statement even came and thanked us for our work.
WHAT CAN YOU DO: Hold an inter-faith meeting. Connect with us. Bring us in to speak to your congregation as well as your inter-faith partners. Only by working together can we hope to defeat the scourge of Hindutva.

Hind Rajab Foundation Urges U.S. to Investigate Israeli Commander Over Hind Rajab’s Killing
“The man who most likely gave the order to open fire,” said Hind Rajab Foundation Director General Dyab Abou Jahjah, referring to Israeli commander Sean Glass.
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed an urgent request with the U.S. Department of Justice seeking an investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Glass over war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
According to HRF, Glass commanded the “Vampire Empire” company, whose troops the foundation links to the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab, members of her family, and the paramedics who attempted to rescue her.
The foundation says its investigation places Glass and his troops near Hind’s vehicle during the attack and that Glass most likely ordered the soldiers to open fire.
Hind Rajab was five years old. Her killing, along with the deaths of her family and the paramedics who came to save her, demands a credible investigation and accountability for those responsible |

EXPOSED: Starbucks’ New Flagship Built on Stolen Uyghur Property
A groundbreaking investigation by journalist Kasim Kashgar for Kozet.org reveals the reality behind Starbucks’ recent expansion into Chinese-occupied East Turkistan.
Starbucks’ flagship store in Urumqi stands wall-to-wall with commercial property unlawfully seized from the Enver family (Bayliq Trading Company). After Jibrillah Enver was sentenced to 10 years on fabricated charges, the family’s $9.6 million asset was confiscated and auctioned off on Taobao to state-controlled entities. Starbucks built its flagship directly on the family’s former driveway in partnership with local state capital.
While appropriating traditional music and silk weaving, Starbucks has completely erased the word “Uyghur” from its store branding—profiting alongside an active genocide.

Malaysia’s Crisis of Forced Returns of Rohingya
Malaysia faces mounting international condemnation after deporting nearly 1,500 Rohingya aboard naval vessels as part of a wider plan to repatriate 5,000 individuals. Although Malaysian authorities describe these repatriations as voluntary, human rights monitors and the United Nations warn that returnees face forced military conscription, torture, and violent conflict.
Under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysian authorities have escalated immigration crackdowns, conducting thousands of raids and detaining tens of thousands in overcrowded detention centers marked by life-threatening conditions. Legal experts emphasize that returning asylum-seekers flagrantly violates the customary international law principle of non-refoulement. Furthermore, engaging junta leader Min Aung Hlaing to expedite expulsions risks legitimizing an abusive military regime. With over 100,000 people killed in Burma’s post-coup civil war since 2021, international advocates insist that safeguarding human dignity and lives must take precedence over domestic political expediency.
