Have had the pleasure of taking part in a panel discussion held by the Hope Cultural Association in Gothenburg, Sweden during the Hazara World Culture Day.

I'm looking into highly concerning reports of the killing of 2 Shia scholars in Herat yesterday which follows the killing of another cleric in the area in October. I urge a thorough independent investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice in line with internat standards
@ministerVWS What a big shame that u take a pic with someone who represents a group that forbids girls from education, women from work & artists 2 perform. A group who killed 1000 innocent ppl. It should be a big shame 4 u & even u r gov who issued a visa to this traitor.
There are detailed historical records of the Hazara Genocide. Take a look at this chilling text about the declaration of jihad against Hazaras. It is this historical ideology that continues to permeate Afghan society today and take Hazara lives.
From the book “Hazaras and the Afghan State” by @IbrahimiNiamat

Another coward suicide attack targeted a sport club in the west of Kabul, a Hazara dominated neighborhood which has always been under the similar attack.

A memory of attending an international conference that took place in #Cyprus. A great opportunity where I could meet a huge number of teachers from the #EU & Middle East. #TEACHers
We are very grateful to MP @AliEhsassi for unwaveringly supporting our petition in the House of Commons, presented yesterday. Thanks to all who signed. Urgently calling on the Canadian government to take action against the atrocities inflicted upon Hazaras.

Afghanistan: Taliban tortures Sunni-Shiite (SuShi) Couple https://t.co/KPRUcIeagd
Wife: Sunni-Pashtun; Husband: Shiite-Hazara
Wife: Taliban, while torturing us, told us Nikah (marriage) between #Sunni and #Hazara is not permissible by (Sunni) religion.
I said, I am married for 11 years now with 4 children.
Hazara: I said, I have Nikah-nama (marriage contract). I have committed no sin. My oldest daughter is 11 years now. Why are you torturing me?
Taliban: You are Hazara, She is #Afghan (Pashtun). Divorce her now.
Interviewer: Is it correct they freed you after you were tortured into accepting Sunni religion?
Hazara: Yes.
Interviewer: What questions did they ask you?
Hazara: They asked many questions about religion, prayers, fasting...
Interviewer: Only then they let you go?
Hazara: Yes
Note:
Taliban killed brother of this Hazara man who left behind several children.
Taliban are 99.9% Sunni-Pashtun educated in 1000s of Saudi-GCC supported Sunni madrassas in Pakistan such as Dar-ul Uloom Haqqania aka. 'University of Jihad' in KPK, Pakistan. The madrassa was run by late Senator Moulana Sami-ul Haq, leader of his own political party JUI-S.
Pakistan's Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LEJ), Taliban ally, has committed genocide of 3000+ Hazara civilians incl. 100s of children. LEJ acknowledged taking part alongside Taliban in Mazar genocide of Hazaras. According to Pakistan's Retd. DG FIA to Senate, late Pakistani President General Zia-ul Haq provided support to SSP, LEJ's precursor, during 1980s (source: Senate body’s rare foray into military matters, Dawn - 2012)
The late Pakistani President General Pervaiz Musharraf accepted Pakistan Army's 'ISI cultivated Taliban' (Dawn, 2015).
IRAN, predominantly Shiite, is another major supporter of Sunni-Taliban.
Taliban have committed genocide of 1000s of Hazara men, women, children, in Afghanistan. During Mazar massacre (1998) of Hazaras, they left Hazara bodies to rot for days, denying Islamic burial, and for wild animals to feed. There were at least one instance of a dog brought inside Shiite mosque (imambargah) to 'cleanse it.'

Since 1890s, the Afghans (Pashtuns) have committed genocide of bulk of Hazara population (60% plus according to some Hazara figure). Details of Hazara genocide can be found in Siraj-al Tawarikh by historian Faiz Muhammad Katib (1912) available on Amazon.
