ohchr.org/en/press-relea… World Sindhi Congress is profoundly grateful to the UN Experts for issuing a powerful statement on 22 April 2026 on forced conversions in Pakistan. The experts include five Special Rapporteurs, as well as the Chair, Vice-Chair, and a member of the UN Working Group on discrimination against women and girls. In our view, this is the strongest statement to date on the issue of forced conversions in Pakistan by the UN. The World Sindhi Congress (WSC) has consistently raised its voice against human rights violations affecting the Sindhi people, including the forced conversion of Sindhi Hindu girls. WSC has submitted numerous statements and contributions to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process on this critical issue. Most recently, WSC presented a statement during the 61st Session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in March–April 2026. The UN report states that 'In 2025, about 75 percent of the women and girls affected by forced conversion through marriage were Hindu and 25 percent Christian. Almost 80 percent of incidents occurred in Sindh province.' It is encouraging to note that many of the concerns and assertions raised by WSC are reflected in the statement issued by the UN experts. The UN statement recognises that Hindus constitute the largest group affected by this trauma, which in practice largely refers to Sindhi Hindus. This acknowledgment offers hope that our advocacy efforts are being heard.

PEMRA has issued a show-cause notice to Geo News for airing content related to the legendary subcontinent singer Asha Bhosle. It has always been customary to revisit and celebrate the work of iconic artists when reporting on them. In fact, for an artist of Asha Bhosle’s stature, we should have shared even more of her timeless and memorable songs than we did. Yet, Pakistan’s electronic media regulator, Pemra, has chosen to restrict this. Art, like knowledge, is a shared heritage of humanity and it should not be confined by borders. Asha Bhosle herself admired Pakistan’s legendary singer Noor Jahan, whom she fondly called her “elder sister.” She collaborated with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and brought to life the poetry of great Urdu poets like Nasir Kazmi. In times of war and conflict, art and artists should not become casualties. Intellectuals, musicians, and creators are often the very voices that stand against hatred and division, and the ones who bring people closer together.
