“This report is about the human rights situation of the Muslim Ismaili Shia religious minority in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021. The report covers restrictions and discrimination by the Taliban, the de-facto authorities (DFA), against the Ismaili community on their right to public and social participation and freedom of religion and worship, including limitations on worship, exercise of religious rituals and attempts at forced conversion. The report is based on 25 interviews with victims and survivors, their family members, civil society activists, and human rights defenders from the Ismaili community, both inside and outside Afghanistan. The primary objective of this report is to document prominent patterns of human rights violations against the Ismaili community in Afghanistan, raise public awareness, and support advocacy efforts to address the grievances experienced by this community.”
