The Hazara community in Quetta, in Pakistan, is reported to be the victim of persecution and violence. At least 1300 Hazara men, women and children have lost their lives and more than 1500 have been injured in Quetta in recent years.[1][2] The Pakistani Sunni Muslim extremist militant group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, is assumed to be behind the attacks against Hazaras.

Hazaras have been living in Pakistan since the 17th century, the whole region was known KHURASAN, later politically changed to Afghanistan,and few migrated later due to persecution by Emir Abdul Rahman Khan. The Hazaras are mainly Shiite Muslims in Sunni-dominated Pakistan and are easily identifiable due to their Mongoloid features.[3] The two Hazara enclaves —Alamdar Road and Hazara Town— are under constant barrage of attacks where armed killers patrol city streets executing Hazaras wherever they find them. Other groups find Hazaras easy target, frequently abducting for ransom and forcing them to sell their valuable businesses for pennies. Currently the 600,000 peaceful Hazara community are confined in an open-air jail – the 4 to 5 mile radius of two enclaves. While all Shia People killed and injured in Balochistan are 100% Hazaras, a statement from UN Sec General, as well as some of the main Local & International news sources have absolutely not a single mention of “Hazara.”

Perpetrators

Acts of violence involving Sunni Muslims and their Shia counterparts in Pakistan have been evident since the 1980s. They are generally considered to have arisen from attempts by the then national leader, Zia ul-Haq, to legitimise his military dictatorship and from the influx of weapons into the country following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Although the perpetrators often do not claim responsibility for the attacks, expert analysis suggests that in recent times it is the Sunnis who are dominating the aggression and that they are motivated by the ideology of Al-Qaeda.[4] The number of violent incidents has been increasing in recent years, although not all of them are classified by the police as being sectarian attacks.[5]

Quetta, which is the capital of the Pakistani province of Balochistan, has seen numerous of these violent incidents. This is in part because of a separatist movement involving militants from the ethnic minority who desire greater autonomy and also because the Pakistani military is engaged in counter-insurgency operations near to the province's border with Afghanistan, where there is tribal strife that involves the Taliban and allied groups.[5]

It is widely assumed that the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Sunni Muslim extremist militant group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Sipah-e-Sahaba, is behind the attacks on the Hazara community in the region.[6][7] There are differences of opinion regarding whether LeJ is a breakaway group of a banned former political party, Sipah-e-Sahaba, or simply its armed wing.[4] The LeJ openly issues death threats to Hazaras through newspaper ads and describes them as wajib-ul-qatl (deserving of death).[3] Many Hazaras believe that the perpetrators cannot possibly be operating independently.[citation needed] LeJ is believed to be one of many Pakistani terrorist groups which fought for Taliban against the United Front in Afghanistan in the 1990s. It is also suggested that the country's security establishment might be trying to provoke the Hazara against other ethnic groups in the province[8] as most of the terrorist organizations in Pakistan are allegedly supported by the country's military establishment.[9][10] The Pakistani Army and its intelligence wing, the ISI, have accused foreign interference in Balochistan's affairs, without directly responding to allegations against themselves for allowing the banned terrorist organizations to operate freely and with complete impunity.[11][12][13][14]

Response

Various advocacy groups, such as the Hazara People International Network, have been formed to publicise the situation and promote opposition to it.[15] The Hazara diaspora in Australia, Western Europe and North America have also joined these protests from time to time.[16] Haji Mohammad Mohaqiq, the political leader of the Hazara in Afghanistan, has also expressed solidarity with the Hazara community in Quetta.[17][18]

The persecution carried out against the Hazara have been documented by the United Nations, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Asian Human Rights Commission, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission.[19][20][21][22][23][24]

Responding to a journalist's question regarding the Mastung Massacre, Aslam Raisani, chief minister of Balochistan, said, The population of Balochistan is in millions, 40 dead in Mastung, is no big deal.[25] When asked about what he could do for the grieving families of the victims, he replied, I can send truckload of tissue paper for them to wipe their tears.[26] Mahmood Khan Achakzai, and Sardar Akhtar Mengal, the exiled Baloch leaders, have also condemned the killings and demanded that the Pakistani security establishment take stern action against those involved in terrorism and acts of violence against civilians. In his reaction on March 29, 2012, Sardar Akhtar Mengal accused the Pakistani military establishment of trying to sow hatred and division among the oppressed peoples by promoting religious extremism and intolerance, which his people regarded against their traditions.[27]

The Pakistani Army and its intelligence wing, the ISI, have accused foreign interference in Balochistan's affairs,[28] without directly responding to allegations against themselves for allowing the banned terrorist organizations to operate freely and with complete impunity.[11][12][13][14]

Human Rights Watch was strident in denouncing the attacks and was very critical of the Pakistani government for their incompetence and profound inadequacy in attempts to track down the perpetrators and bring much-awaited justice to country's Shiite minority. Reportedly, 400 Shiites were targeted and killed in 2012 attacks, including over 120 Hazaras in Balochistan alone.[29]

Pakistan director at Human Rights Watch, Ali Dayan Hasan asserted, "2012 was the bloodiest year for Pakistan's Shia community in living memory and if this latest attack is any indication, 2013 has started on an even more dismal note. As Shia community members continue to be slaughtered in cold blood, the callousness and indifference of authorities offers a damning indictment of the state, its military and security agencies. Pakistan's tolerance for religious extremists is not just destroying lives and alienating entire communities, it is destroying Pakistani society across the board."[29]

Predictably – as in 200 previous attacks in addition to the LEJ killers’ “mysterious” escape in 2008 and 2013 from secured Jail inside Cantt area - the “moulana” has managed to escape the scene for 169th time. An apparent sectarian motive cannot be ruled out at this time.

Eyewitnesses described attackers chanting ‘Long Live Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LEJ)‘ after the attack. There is ample proof that the Pakistani State is fully complicit in the ongoing genocide of Hazaras in Quetta, wider Balochistan, and other parts of Pakistan[71][72]
