Today (Thursday 22 Sept) at 3:30 pm we had a small peaceful protest near administration building in our centre for 1 hour. More then 400 people attented this protest. The protest was to let the immigration know of how our family is back home (our last resided place Quetta, Pakistan where most of us were living illegally) and how people feel and how much they worry.
Almost 31 people have been martyred on 20th of this September on a bus which was carring more then 50 passengers. They were stopped by anti-hazara or anti-shia (who are against our ethnicity and religious faith). Only the hazaras were seperated from those passengers and then were shot on the spot to death just because they were Hazara and Shia.
This is what people said in speeches and people were holding banners saying, 'Where is UN? Why UN do not hear our voice? Stop killing of innocent Hazaras? Is being Hazara is a crime? At the end of the protest people went back to their compounds peacefully.
Please feel free to share.
