A group of Shia Hazaras on Wednesday protested here against the recent spate of targeted killings against its community in Afghanistan.
About more than a dozen men and women of the Shia Hazara minorities sat on a protest to highlight the plight of their community in Afghanistan at Dargah Shahmardan in Jor Bagh.
Aminullah, who is staying in Delhi as a refugee, said, “We are raising voice against Shia Hazara genocide in Afghanistan and want the world to support us.”
The protesters said that the community is the most persecuted minority in the world and since the Taliban took control the attacks have increased manifold.
