SRW publishes its monthly report

Shia Rights Watch International Organization published its latest monthly report of the anti-Shia movements in April 2018.

Shia Rights Watch International Organization published its latest monthly report of the anti-Shia movements in April 2018.

 The report includes terror attacks and suppressive measures by tyrants and oppressive regimes against civilians. The report is compiled by civil rights activists, as it is available to civil rights foundations, the media, and public opinion. 

With 673 incidents of anti-Shiism during the month of April, Shia repression is on the rise. The reduction in February and March from January’s equivalent 673 incidents was too good to be true, as this month concluded with 128 deaths, 180 injuries, 236 arrests, 114 sentencing, and 18 other anti-Shia actions such as denial of healthcare, as well as violent and legal attacks on basic human freedoms and rights. 

The amount of Shia civilians killed this month around the world increased by 100% from what we’ve previously seen in recent months, jumping from an average of 60 deaths per month to 123, and showing a new wave of violence and aggression directed at Shia Muslims.

Shia Rights watch continues its research and advocacy for the 7th consecutive year. The year 2018 began with the release of the SRW Annual Report, highlighting minority rights violations and the persecution of Shia Muslims. 

The 18-page report analyzed the state of the Shia Minority in relation to international events and presented a set of recommendations to reduce human rights violations as well as increase dialogue among conflicting parties.
