Afghanistan: Shiite and other minorities living in fear
An attack on a Shiite place of worship in Herat, Afghanistan in early April killed at least 11 people; no group claimed responsibility, and Taliban authorities' promised investigation has yielded no results. The incident underscores the ongoing systemic vulnerability of Shiite (predominantly Hazara) minorities under Taliban rule, marked by documented discrimination including bans on Shiite religious practices, expulsions, forced conversions, exclusion from public service, and the abolition of Shiite legal systems, leaving many community members living in fear and considering fleeing the country.
