🚨 FACT CHECK: Viral claim about a “Holi attack” in Harrow is a lie to stoke up community tensions. INSIGHTUK claims without any evidence that “Muslim youth attacked Holi celebrations in Harrow.” Authorities rejected it and confirmed the incident wasn’t targeted at any community

NEW: The Panel of Independent International Experts (PIIE)’s new report finds reasonable basis to believe that apartheid as a crime against humanity is being committed against Bengali-speaking Muslims in Assam, India—and that apartheid conditions are being strengthened and consolidated. Read the full report: piieindia.org The report documents a multi-pronged architecture of citizenship deprivation—including the exclusionary design of the NRC, religion-based corrective pathways under the CAA favouring non-Muslim groups, and new executive procedures enabling summary detention and expulsion—that has resulted in large-scale nationality insecurity, disenfranchisement, denial of access to welfare and public services, arbitrary detention, and deportation. These measures operate within a legal and administrative framework that systematically marginalises and subordinates a racialised group, and their scale and policy-driven character support the inference that they form part of an institutionalised regime of domination pursued pursuant to state policy. The Panel comprises @SBiserko, @MarzukiDrsmn, and Stephen Rapp — who between them have led UN investigations and international criminal prosecutions relating to Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and North Korea.

NEW: The Panel of Independent International Experts (PIIE) has found reasonable basis to believe that the practice of so-called 'half-encounters' by Uttar Pradesh Police may amount to torture as a crime against humanity. Read the full report: piieindia.org In 2024 alone, at least 56 Muslims were grievously injured in custodial or allegedly staged public shootings, typically shot in the knees or legs. The consistency of injury patterns, allegations of planted weapons, absence of imminent threat, and instances of public staging point to punitive and premeditated violence rather than legitimate law enforcement. Maimings occurred across at least 16 districts, while senior officials, including the Chief Minister, publicly endorsed aggressive encounter policing and popularised rhetoric such as 'thok do' — supporting the inference of a state policy. Since 2017, at least 266 people have been killed in 'encounter' operations under CM Adityanath. Zero FIRs have been registered against police personnel. The Panel comprises @SBiserko, @MarzukiDrsmn, and Stephen Rapp — who between them have led UN investigations and international criminal prosecutions relating to Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and North Korea.

Indian media houses embarrass the country on a global stage by acting childishly when an important conversation was about to take place to protect the world from the terrible consequence of the war on Iran. They act like it is all about India and Pakistan.

.@RanaAyyub was recently targeted by Hindutva machinery & she is portrayed as an anti-Hindu for her decade old social media posts criticising Hindu nationalism. Do you still wonder why Hindutva targets her continuously? Its bcoz of her continuous fearless fight against Hindutva.

“A war veteran was challenged in his own home to prove he belonged in the country for which he fought — because he was Muslim,” @RanaAyyub explained how Assam, India treats its Muslims. It shows growing practices of ‘apartheid’ in Assam as a recent report rightly printed out.

Alarmingly, the Panel finds that the pattern of conduct rises in the state of Assam to the level of apartheid. The expert panelist found it necessary to turn their attention to India to measure the gravity of the violations in the region.

Across both states, the Panel finds credible evidence of widespread & systematic rights violations against Muslims, and reasonable grounds to believe that international crimes, including persecution, torture, and deportation as crimes against humanity, may have been committed.

In Murshidabad district of West Bengal, India, Hindutva groups targeted Muslim shops vandalising & looting in an organised attack during the Ram Navami procession on March 27. They were chanting ‘Jai Sri Ram’ (Hail Lord Ram) while carrying it out. #hindutvaviolence #ramnavmi

This took place in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, India, on the 26th March 2026. The open brandishing of arms by Hindutva groups carrying Hanuman flags is not merely a religious expression. These displays went beyond symbolism, contributing to violence on Muslims & others.
