Incident description

On July 1, 2018, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) attacked a delegation from Afghanistan's minority Hindu and Sikh communities that was meeting with the governor in Jalalabad City. The attack killed 19 people, with 10 of the victims being members of Afghanistan's Sikh community, including the country's sole Sikh parliamentary candidate. This deliberate targeting of religious minorities represents systematic persecution of non-Muslim communities in Afghanistan.
