Shia Rights Watch organization has released its report on anti-Shia incidents that occurred in April 2019. 

The report includes incidents in the form of direct violence, discrimination, and marginalization that were reported in a number of nations during this month.

Extreme violations carried by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain shocked the international committees even more after both authorities promised reform and more freedom to their people. Pakistan and Iraq also remain unsafe for Shia communities as many violations are reported from these places.  

It is important to note that cases of violence noted in the report are in fact only a sample of the incidents of anti-Shiism faces by the worlds Shia minority. Shia Rights Watch recognizes that incidents of violence are in large part not reported as many religious minorities live in fear of further persecution on the basis of their religious identity. 

The report included oppression on innocent Shia prisoners in Bahrain, violation to freedom of religion, mass trials, unlawful detentions, mass executions in Saudi Arabia as well as attacks in Pakistan and Iraq.
