Overview

Authorities referred thousands of people to trial on terrorism-related offences, many of whom were targeted solely for the peaceful exercise of their human rights. NGOs faced undue restrictions on access to funding, undermining their operations. Security forces detained dozens of social media influencers over vague morality charges. People died in custody following reports of torture or medical negligence. Police arrested workers demanding the enforcement of the minimum wage. Death sentences were imposed, including for crimes other than intentional killing, following grossly unfair trials. Executions were carried out. Impunity prevailed for grave human rights violations committed in 2025 and previous years. Women and girls, religious minorities and LGBTI individuals faced discrimination and prosecution for exercising their human rights. Amid the ongoing economic crisis, authorities failed to protect economic and social rights or to adequately adjust social security measures. The government introduced new legislation that risked jeopardizing the right to adequate housing for millions. Unlawful deportations of refugees from Sudan and elsewhere continued.
