USCIRF has shown concerns over reports of Pakistan targeting and scapegoating the Shiite Hazara ethnic minority community for the spread of the deadly coronavirus. The government has completely sealed off 2 areas of the Hazara community as part of the lockdown in the capital city of Balochistan. The USCIRF said this deadly virus doesn't recognise religion or ethnicity & must not be used as an excuse to discriminate.
