Hazaras face continued violent attacks in Afghanistan. The April 29 assault on a mosque in Herat, claiming several lives including women and children, underscores the ongoing threat Hazaras face under Taliban rule. Hazaras urgently need access to protection and justice.

It's heartbreaking to see Hazara children being killed for their identity. How can any religion justify the killing of innocent children in a God-worshiping place?
