This includes the 1998 massacre of 2,000 civilians, most of them Hazara, in the northern city of Mazar-I Sharif, raised in a Human Rights Watch report to the UN in 2008. The massacre was said to be retaliation for the 1997 killing of 2,000 Taliban prisoners by a Hazara and ethnic Uzbek fighters.

Persecution of Hazara people refers to the alleged discrimination of the Hazaras, who are primarily from the central highland region of Hazarajat in Afghanistan. ... The Hazara people have also been the victims of massacres committed by the Taliban and AL-Qaeda.
