The Taliban responded violently and shot into the air to disperse the protesters. They also detained dozens of protesters.
Atifa, a local journalist who covered the protest, said around 200 took part in the protest.
They chanted “stop killing Hazaras,” and “being Hazara should not be a crime.”
“The majority of the protesters today were schoolchildren,” said Khalida, a female protester.” “It started from Barchi and the destination was the presidential palace, however, it was stopped by the Taliban in the Naqqash area of Barchi.”
