Shia-Genocide-in-Pakistan

RECOMMENDATIONS, EXPECTATIONS & COMMENTS- RECOGNISE SHIA GENOCIDEThe Shia community requests the British Government to recognize the en masse killing of the Shiacommunity (including but not limited to Hazara Shias) in Pakistan as a Genocide as per Article II ofThe Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.- HOLD PAKISTANI STATE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIA GENOCIDEThe Shia community of Pakistan holds the state, specially its security establishment responsible forits genocide because of their support to the Jihadi madressahs and the anti-Shia militants. Weexpect The British government to do the same on humanitarian grounds and wherever possible,pressurize the Pakistani government to ensure the protection of Shia community.- PRESSURISE TO PROSECUTE SHIA KILLERSThe killers of Shia roam free in Pakistan while the community expects the perpetrators to bebrought to justice. We expect the British Government and Human Rights organizations topressurize Pakistan to bring the culprits to justice.- WHAT HAPPENS IF SHIA GENOCIDE IS NOT STOPPED?The Shia Muslims believe in metaphorical and allegoric interpretation of religious sources like theSufi Muslims, and unlike the orthodox Wahhabi Salafi Muslims who follow a literal interpretation.Decimation of Shia, who make up a strong 20% of population of Pakistan and serve in all importantintuitions of the country will lead to further radicalization of Pakistan as a society and will create anuclear armed Wahhabi state with ultra-orthodox politicos at helm that can unleash devastation inthe region and worldwide. The anti-Shia militants work in alliance with global militant Islamists likeTaliban and Al-Qaeda, they want to establish an orthodox Sunni caliphate and know very well thatShia are standing between them and their goal. This enables the genocide of the Shia but they willeventually go after the shrine going traditional Sufi/ Barelvi Muslims too in an attempt to turnPakistan’s society and state into a purely Wahhabi Salafi state. Therefore, considering the gravity ofthe situation and the threat to Shia community in Pakistan and the world at large, we request theBritish Government and Human Rights Organisations to consider this issue at all possibleplatforms and exert pressure on Pakistan as a Common Wealth member state and also attempt tocut the financing of terrorism in Pakistan by Gulf states specially Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar.9
