Shia Genocide Report: 30 Shia Muslims target killed in Pakistan in March 2012

We have now spent considerable time in compiling and presenting a relatively comprehensive data on attacks on Shia Muslims in the first month of 2012.

SUMMARY
Total killed 58 Sindh 13 Balochistan 6 Punjab 36 KP 2 GB 1 FATA ?
Total Injured 67 Sindh 5 Balochistan 0 Punjab 59 KP 2 GB 1 FATA ?
Total attacks 32 Sindh 15 Balochistan 4 Punjab 7 KP 3 GB 3 FATA ?

Based on January 2012 statistics, the projected number of deaths per year could be somewhere in the vicinity of 500 to 800 Shia Muslims killed per year. Number of those injured could be estimated to be between 700 and 1000 Shias.

In terms of total number of attacks in January 2012, Sindh, Karachi in particular, was most problematic (15 attacks out of total 32), however, in terms of total deaths, Punjab proved to be most deadly province (36 out of 58 deaths). This, however, is no surprise given the fact that ISI-sponsored Difa-e-Pakistan Council (a union of anti-Shia parties) is most active in Punjab and also the fact that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s government is in an unannounced political alliance with the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (ASWJ).

It is acknowledged that due to paucity of resources and lack of communication networks in many areas, not all incidents of Jihadi-sectarian attacks on Shia Muslims have been recorded in this report. For example, no data on Shia killings in Parachinar and other areas in FATA is included in this report. However, we have taken utmost care in presenting an honest and objective picture of attacks on Shias in Pakistan.

We hope that rights activists, including Shia and other rights activists, human rights groups and media organizations will use this report as a model for compiling and publishing consolidated data on the silent genocide of Shia Muslims currently taking place in Pakistan since late 1980s. We also hope that Pakistani as well as international media persons will break their silence on Shia genocide in Pakistan and pressurize Pakistan government, particularly Pakistan’s military establishment, to refrain from supporting the Jihadi-sectarian organizations which are killing Shia Muslims.

The excel sheet of the following data can be downloaded from the following link. Activists and human rights groups may use this model to compile data for previous years and subsequent months and years.

Video on Shia genocide in Pakistan and a message to Pakistan’s Chief Justice and Chief of Army Staff

From Gilgit to Karachi, Quetta to Parachinar and Karachi to D.I.Khan, Shia Muslims are being target killed in all provinces and areas of Pakistan. However, Pakistan’s judiciary, army, media, civil society and politicians either remain silent or misrepresent the Shia genocide. This video is a message to all of them particularly to the champions of justice and national security.
