Under Taliban rule, such processions have often been banned or severely restricted, citing security concerns. The prohibition of public gatherings has deprived the Hazara Shia community of their sacred rituals and the emotional support they find in coming together during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taliban have been forcing the Hazaras to finish their majlis by using force and even ripping off their black banners and Alams which are symbolic to the Shia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Taliban has often imposed censorship on these speeches, monitoring the content to ensure that they align with their strict interpretation of Islam. This suppression has stifled freedom of expression and religious discourse for the Hazara Shias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/15101008protest3500.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/15101008protest3500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/15101008protest3500-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holy month of Muharram holds immense significance for Shia Muslims worldwide.
