| 21–27 Sep 2026 Reviewer-confirmed window; exact dates unresolved | new incident | Christian | India | St Xavier’s College, Kolkata; Serampore College, West Bengal | One grouped Reported institutional-pressure entry affecting two colleges. Killed, wounded and detentions: not reported. No closure or completed seizure established. | State government officials; department and official purpose unresolved. | [F-01] Reported occurrence. Category: Coercive Legal & Administrative Restriction (editorial classification). State power applied to Christian institutions.

| Approved dispositions; unresolved and retrospective cases excluded from new totals. Research cutoff: 29 September 2026. | ||

| Metric | Count | Qualification |
| Main incidents | 15 | Unique main incidents; excludes linked security. |
| Verified-occurrence incidents | 8 | Occurrence verification does not establish motive or all individual faith identities. |
| Reported incidents | 7 | Approved Reported tier remains distinct. |
| Christian-related incidents | 13 | Includes explicitly assessed-context cases. |
| Antisemitism incidents | 2 | Crown Heights Verified; Toronto Reported. |
| Separate linked-security incidents | 1 | N-08 only, outside main subtotal. |

| Assessed-context killed, Verified events | 8 | Individual faith unconfirmed; operational-pattern caveat. |
| Qualified killed, Verified-occurrence events | 13 | Do not label as independently confirmed Christian identities. |
| Additional Reported killed | 4 | Kangyar 2 plus Rubung/Federe shared pool 2; not added to confirmed subtotal. |
| Identified Christian wounded | 2 | Two surviving clergy at Jarosław, derived from source victim composition. |
| Assessed-context wounded | 2 | Marit; individual faith unconfirmed. |
| Qualified Christian-related wounded | 4 | Source-identified plus assessed-context; excludes unestablished lay victims. |
| Other wounded, faith unestablished | 2 | Two lay victims at Jarosław, separate from Christian-related figures. |

| Additional Reported arrests | 2 | Rewa; single-source advocacy report. |
| Separate security killed | 1 | N-08; outside Christian-related figures. |
| Counting discipline | Unknown is not zero. Held casualties never enter totals. Rubung and Federe are two incidents with one shared two-death pool, not two deaths each. | |
| Event dates | Event, publication, discovery and custody-step dates remain distinct. New corroboration of an older incident retains its original event date. | |
| Christian-context caveat | Individual religious identities and an incident-specific religious motive have not been independently established, but the attack is assessed as consistent with long-standing operational patterns of violence affecting Christian communities. | |
| Mandatory next sweep | 28 September–4 October: follow up every unresolved case, especially D-05 first. Record a disposition even if no new evidence is found. | |
| Priority: legal/administrative | Coercive legal and administrative restrictions supplement physical-violence monitoring; distinguish allegations, orders, implementation and official rationale. | |
| Priority: church damage | Surface suspicious, unsolved and unsubstantiated church damage/fire reports. Do not presume arson or religious targeting. | |
| Standing cases | Public sources only. No private Leah Sharibu witness/location details; no fresh proof-of-life inference from older profiles. | |
| Publication gate | Internal research/QC workbook. Maps await workbook approval. No automatic public publication. | |
| Analysis 1 | The India material points to several different mechanisms that should not be collapsed into a single “conversion crackdown” total: disruption and detention at worship gatherings, alleged administrative pressure on colleges, and churches restricting attendance in response to pressure. Their evidentiary strengths and dates differ, most notably the Betul corroboration, the Sidhi duplicate warning and the source-chronology conflict for the college visits, whose in-window allocation now rests on explicit reviewer confirmation. (Amar Ujala, Betul; Barnabas Aid; ICC, colleges; PTI, Dhamtari) Amar Ujala, Betul: https://www.amarujala.com/video/madhya-pradesh/betul/school-in-betul-turned-into-temporary-church-hindu-group-creates-a-ruckus-over-prayer-meeting-2-pastors-detained-betul-news-c-1-1-noi1569-4770602-2026-09-27 Barnabas Aid: https://www.barnabasaid.org/us/news/seven-christians-arrested-in-three-separate-incidents-in-madhya-pradesh/ ICC, colleges: https://persecution.org/2026/09/22/christian-educational-institutions-in-india-face-mounting-pressure/ PTI, Dhamtari: https://telanganatoday.com/conversion-row-dhamtari-churches-restrict-entry-to-non-christians | |
| Analysis 2 | Plateau is the most complicated casualty-reconciliation cluster in this draft, not a settled single religious-fatality series. Attacks on Christian-described communities overlap with attacks on guards, police, miners and other civilians; the reports require incident and victim matching before any Christian subtotal can be defended. (CDI / Morning Star News; TruthNigeria; Premium Times) CDI / Morning Star News: https://www.christiandaily.com/news/more-christians-killed-in-previously-attacked-area-in-nigeria TruthNigeria: https://truthnigeria.com/2026/09/the-week-fulani-militia-defy-curfew-to-attack-christian-communities-in-plateau-state/ Premium Times: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/912591-five-killed-at-plateau-mining-site-as-soldiers-rescue-district-head.html | |
| Analysis 3 | The Jewish-community cases demonstrate why occurrence and antisemitic classification need separate checks: the Crown Heights report contains police hate-crime charges and explicit language, the Borough Park assault has an unresolved motive, and the Jerusalem synagogue case raises both date-boundary and classification questions. Belleville supplies a substantive new motive determination for an older attack rather than a new-week casualty event. (New York Daily News / Tribune Content Agency; Jerusalem Post; CBC) New York Daily News / Tribune Content Agency: https://www.arcamax.com/currentnews/newsheadlines/s-4305351 Jerusalem Post: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/three-minors-arrested-under-suspicion-104402602.html CBC: https://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/9.7356880 | |
| Analysis 4 | Sourcing ranges from named police and government accounts to church statements, victim testimony and unnamed advocacy contacts. Syndication and repeated use of the same witness do not create independent corroboration; current reporting dates also do not refresh old event dates or establish fresh proof of life for standing captives. | |
| Analysis 5 | Two additional standing priorities are now explicit at the user's direction: coercive legal and administrative restrictions, and suspicious church damage or arson, including unsubstantiated and unsolved cases. These supplement, rather than replace, physical-violence reporting. Source-linked allegations remain visible for review even when they cannot yet enter totals; legal grounds, implementation status, fire cause, religious motive and verification tier must remain distinct. | |
| Analysis 6 | A developing global church-damage pattern is a question for structured cross-case research, not a conclusion established by this selected weekly sample. Increased discovery or reporting must not be presented as increased incidence without comparable dated evidence. | |
