International experts’ panel criticise rights violations against Muslims in Assam, UP states of India
London: A panel of eminent international experts to examine information about violations of international law committed against Muslims in Assam and Uttar Pradesh, India (2022–25), criticised human rights violations against Muslims in Assam and Uttar Pradesh states of India and called for urgent international intervention and targeted sanctions against perpetrators.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the report dated March 2026 (launched/published around 31 March 2026 at an event hosted by the Transnational Legal Clinic, Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London).
Anti-Muslim violence increased under the Bharatiya Janata Party regime, while Muslims continue to suffer in Assam and Uttar Pradesh.
The international expert panel’s report exposed abuses against Muslims in Assam and Uttar Pradesh as systematic rights violations and shifted the debate towards global accountability.
Assam and Uttar Pradesh have become case studies in majoritarian governance, discriminatory policing, evictions, hate speech, and state-enabled pressure on Muslim communities.
India’s reality as an autocratic country has been exposed, while its claims of being a plural and constitutional democracy increasingly ring hollow.
