Over a dozen members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light have been arbitrarily detained for over seven months solely for exercising their right to freedom of religion or belief. Since their arrest in March 2025, three members of the religious minority, Hussein Mohammed Al-Tenawi, Omar Mahmoud Abdel Maguid, and Hazem Saied Abdel Moatamed have been tortured or otherwise ill-treated and detained in appalling conditions in the 10th of Ramadan prison according to their family members. They are facing charges of “joining a group established in violation of the constitution and the law”.

Call on Egyptian Public Prosecutor, Mohamed Shawky Ayyad, to immediately and unconditionally release all arbitrarily detained Ahmadis and halt discrimination against members of religious minorities who do not espouse state-sanctioned religious beliefs.

Anastasio Gomez changed his name to Ibrahim Chechev when he first converted to Islam. Now, he's the imam of the Ahmadi Community in San Cristobal de las Casas.

Pakistan’s Blasphemy Laws: An Instrument of Wahhabis:

A response to the Ahmadi sect's claims that Jesus did not ascend to the higher realms and that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani was Jesus.

Main points:

- In the Quran, God stated very clearly that neither was Jesus killed nor crucified; rather God raised him towards himself. God did however say that a doubt was created for people at the time of Jesus.

- There are many words in all language which will have different meanings depending on the connotation. In Quran 3:55 where God mentions ascension of Jesus, the word ‘mutawafee’ is used; many of those who have done translation of the Holy Quran have taken this word to mean ‘death’. The root word of mutawafee is 'wafa', which means ‘to complete [something].’ When Jesus is mentioned by God in this scenario, God takes Jesus’s full name: Jesus Son of Mary. This title is mentioned only when God talks about Jesus’s body. In other words, God was saying to Jesus, ‘I will raise you completely.’

- If mutawafee meant ‘to give death’ as the Ahmadis claim, then why did God say to Jesus, ‘I will raise you [towards me]’? The Ahmadis argue that it refers to the ascension of Jesus’s soul - but everyone’s soul ascends when they die. Why did God mention this specifically about Jesus? They also may say that God was talking about the ascension of Jesus’s body, but this argument would be nonsensical. When the body of Prophet Mohammad, the Leader of Prophets, is in Medina, why would God choose to ascend the (dead) body of Jesus? What would be the point?

- Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani cannot claim to be Jesus Son of Mary, because his own mother was someone other than Mary. God ascended Jesus Son of Mary towards himself. Prophet Mohammad mentioned that Jesus Son of Mary would return (meaning in his own body) therefore there is no way Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani could be Jesus. This is a lie projected by Ahmadis to support their belief system.

UA: 43.25 Egypt (Amnesty International)

Between March 8 and 14, 2025, the Egyptian authorities arbitrarily arrested at least four members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, solely for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of religion or belief. Following periods of enforced disappearance, authorities brought three members of the religious minority, Hussein Mohammed AlTenawi, Omar Mahmoud Abdel Maguid, and Hazem Saied Abdel Moatamed, before the Supreme State Security Prosecution (SSSP). Prosecutors ordered their detention pending investigations on charges of “joining a group established in violation of law and constitution” and denied them access to a lawyer of their choice. The Egyptian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release all arbitrarily detained Ahmadis and halt the targeting of religious minorities that are not espousing state-sanctioned religious beliefs.
