The Hazara ethno-religious minority group in Afghanistan has historically been the subject of systematic racial discrimination, persistent persecution, and mass killings.
Since the Taliban’s takeover, the attacks against the Hazaras have spiked, killing and injuring hundreds of them throughout the country. In a recent suicide attack on Kaaj Education Centre in a Hazara neighbourhood in Kabul city –Dashti Barchi-, at least 163 students were killed and injured, most of whom were female teenagers.
In response to this massacre and to show solidarity with the bereaved families and the wider Hazara community in Afghanistan, we cordially invite you to join us in our demonstration on Saturday, 15 October 2022, 14:00 – 16:00. The event will take place in George Square, Glasgow, Scotland.
We would appreciate if you circulate this invitation.
Thank you!
Hazara Community in Scotland

‘The rumbling of engines echoed across the valley at dusk as scores of men with mismatched camouflage and mud-caked Kalashnikovs descended into the town in northern Afghanistan.
Many had driven hours down the snow-capped mountains to reach the town and join forces with Mawlawi Mahdi Mujahid, a former Shiite commander within the mostly Sunni Taliban who had recently renounced the new Taliban government and seized control of this district.’
