Afgan Massacre

Linda Wertheimer talks wtih Vikram Parekh, Researcher on South Asia for Human Rights Watch about Human Rights Watch's lastest report, Massacres of Hazaras in Afghanistan, which gives eye witness accounts of a massacre in January in the central highlands of Afghanistan, as well as new evidence related to an earlier massacre last May. During both events, the victims were primarily Hazaras, a Shia Muslim ethnic group, previously targeted by Taliban forces for abuse. Afghan humanitarian aid workers were also killed.
