Meanwhile, dozens of women from the Hazara community defied a Taliban ban on rallies to protest the latest bloodshed against their community on October 1, a report stated.
Up to 50 women took to the streets and chanted, “Stop Hazara genocide, it’s not a crime to be a Shiite”, as they marched past a hospital in Dasht-e-Barchi. Several victims of the attack are currently being treated at the same hospital.
Moreover, the report further states that jihadist terror groups like the Islamic State regard Shiites as heretics. The Taliban also regards the Hazara community as heathens, and rights groups accused the Taliban several times, of targeting them during their 20-year insurgency against the former United States-backed government.
Meanwhile, UNAMA called for the names of the victims to be documented and remembered while also demanding justice.
