Islamabad: The Hazara community in the UK has recently released a report which revealed the atrocities faced by the community members in Pakistan.
“Today, we launched the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Hazaras, the Hazara Inquiry Reports and the joint recommendation from the Hazara Inquiry,” Hazara Committee in UK Facebook post read as quoted by ANI.
The situation of the Hazara in Pakistan is dire and continues to be exacerbated by the critical situation in Afghanistan. The Hazara in Pakistan are subjected to discrimination, persecution and social exclusion that have a profound effect on the community and its future.
“Today’s session was chaired by Lord Alton and the speakers included: Baroness Kennedy, Brendan O’Hara, Paul Bristow, Lynne O’Donnell, Ewelina Ochab, Homira Rezai, Bismillah Alizada and James Ekin,” read the Facebook post of Hazara Committee in UK.
Some of the risk factors of atrocity crimes are clearly present, while further evidence is needed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the situation.
“Thank you all for coming to support the Hazara cause and raise your voice to #StopHazaraGenocide,” added the Facebook post.
