The fifth conference was held on 25–26 April 2024 at Faletti’s Hotel in Lahore in memory of Asma Jahangir. More than 100 speakers addressed in a total of 20 different sessions including freedom of the press, rule of law, human rights crisis in Gaza and Jammu and Kashmir, issues of women and minorities rights, unfair accountability, the correct concept of national security and many others.

The conference was organized by AGHS and Asma Jahangir Foundation in collaboration with Pakistan Bar Council and Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan. The keynote address of the fifth conference was by Senior Punie Judge of Supreme Court of Pakistan, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah.

German Ambassador to Pakistan Alfred Grannas was speaking during the fifth Asma Jahangir Conference when he was interrupted by a pro-Palestinian protester. Demonstrators questioned the ambassador’s courage to discuss civil rights while Germany was accused of atrocities against Palestinians. The blockade sparked a spirited dialogue, with chants of “free, free Palestine” and “from the river to the sea” filling the air. The ambassador responded by telling the protesters to leave if they want to shout, saying that shouting is not a debate. The organizers of the conference later kicked out the youth who raised their voices for Palestine.
