Hazara Community: Ministry and Address Concerns

hazara community: In a statement late Saturday, the ministry, which controls the police, says "any kind of public gathering and demonstration is banned," starting immediately, according to Metro News. The ban follows an attack on a protest march by members of Afghanistan ethnic Hazara community that killed at least 81 people and wounded hundreds. Afghanistan Interior Ministry has issued a ban on public gatherings of all types for the next 10 days. The ministry announcement — which may be seeking to address concerns about sectarian violence — cites Afghan police law and the international covenant on civil and political rights.___11:30 p.m. White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Saturday the "heinous" attack was made more "despicable" because it targeted people at a peaceful demonstration in Kabul. The United States is condemning "in the strongest terms" the deadly attack in Afghanistan capital. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
