A disturbing attack on a Muslim child in India
A classroom video circulating online appears to show an 8-year-old boy attacking a 6-year-old Muslim girl. He slams her head against a desk, kicks her and throws a brick toward her head. The footage is deeply disturbing.
JFA has been told that the boy is from a Hindu family. The attack must be investigated, and the wider climate in which children absorb messages about religion and identity must also be taken seriously. As Hindu-supremacist narratives and anti-Muslim hostility spread in India, the country must confront how this rhetoric can shape the next generation.
Watch the video with caution: It contains disturbing content.

Israel kills 7 Years Old Joury in Gaza
Seven-year-old Joury Al-Soufi, whose name means “rose,” was killed by Israeli gunfire yesterday in Al-Mawasi, southwest of Khan Younis. She joins her father, who was also killed by Israel. The attack also killed Hossam Al-Zamli, 21, and Tamer Snaima, leaving dozens more injured. Joury was just a child. Palestinian families continue to pay the price with their lives. The world must not look away. |

Two Uyghur Men Face Deportation from Thailand
Two Uyghur men currently being held incommunicado face imminent deportation from Thailand to China, according to a Thai civil society network in a briefing note dated 29 October.
In a joint statement issued on Saturday, 31 October, the Coalition for the Rights of Refugees and Stateless Persons (CRSP), Migrant Working Group (MWG) and Thailand Migration Reform Consortium (TMR) also called on the Thai government to halt any forced return and respect the men’s wishes to resettle in a third country.
The three organisations said both men had informed their legal representatives that they did not consent to return to China. However, their lawyers have been denied access to them since their transfer to the Suan Phlu Immigration Detention Centre on 21 October.
The briefing note stated: “Both men, one of whom was a child when first detained in 2014, were initially held in immigration detention. They were later held in Bangkok Central Prison for offences related to an escape attempt in January 2020. The two men received royal pardons under a decree published in the Royal Gazette on 2 June 2026 and were transferred to the Bangkok Immigration Detention Center (IDC) Suan Phlu on 21 October 2026.”

Burmese Military kills at least 15 civilians, including 12 in Rakhine State
At least 15 civilians, including an infant, were killed and 32 others injured when Myanmar military aircraft bombed four townships across Rakhine and Karenni states on Sunday, local media reported.
The airstrikes hit residential areas and a maternity facility across Kyauktaw, Mrauk-U, Pauktaw and Kyaukphyu townships, killing 12 in Rakhine State, The Irrawaddy, an independent media outlet focusing on Burma and Southeast Asia, reported on Monday.
On Saturday, three children were killed and eight others injured when military aircraft bombed a school in eastern Loikaw township, Karenni State, as children gathered for a nutrition program during a holiday.
Burma has been embroiled in a protracted civil war that intensified after the military, led by Min Aung Hlaing, ousted the elected government in February 2021.
Several ethnic armed opposition groups are fighting the military-led government in different parts of the country.
