Repeal Dehumanising Anti-apostasy and Anti-blasphemy Laws and Release Religious Prisoners of Conscience

Jubilee Campaign addresses the UN Human Rights Council during the Interactive Dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture

Oral statement below and video statement in the link below

Thank you, Madame Vice-President.

Jubilee Campaign would like to thank the UN Special Rapporteur for her work and excellent report.

Survivor stories have a lot to teach us. In 2014, Sudanese authorities imprisoned and sentenced Mariam Ibraheem to death for apostasy from and 100 lashes for adultery since they considered her marriage to a Christian man null and void. During her detention authorities physically and psychological tortured Mariam for choosing to live according to her conscience, authorities would also directly punish her for what happened during a court hearing:

“If I'm a Muslim girl why can’t I marry a Christian man? […] when I get in a conversation like that with the judge I end up being punished, they chained my hands behind my back even if I'm pregnant and I have to take care of my son, they chain my hands behind my back for three days when I ask questions[…] So it was a very challenging time was a very hard experience.”

Today, there are people being detained under dehumanising conditions for exercising their freedom of conscience and belief.

Jubilee Campaign urges the Human Rights Council to:

- Prioritise the repeal of the dehumanising anti-apostasy and anti-blasphemy laws, including the 11 countries which sanction the death penalty for real or perceived apostasy/blasphemy from Islam;
- Release religious prisoners of conscience including Sufi singer Yahaya Sharif Aminu in Nigeria, Christian mother Shagufta Kiran in Pakistan and Dia in Libya, Y Quyn Bdap in Vietnam, Said Abdelrazek in Egypt, Christians detained by Houthis in Yemen.
- Hold perpetrators of torture of religious prisoners of conscience accountable.

Finally, we would like to thank states who have provided refuge and protection for survivors and victims of torture and former religious prisoners of conscience.

Thank you.

Happy New Year 2026!
"Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace."
- Lord Alfred Tennyson
