<p>Security Forces are committed to tackling this threat. As part of NATO's Resolute
Support Mission, the UK supports the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in
its efforts to improve security for all communities.</p><p>Ethnic and religious minorities
in Afghanistan, such as the Christian, Sikh and Hindu communities, continue to face
challenges. We regularly raise human rights issues with the Government of Afghanistan,
including the need to protect the rights of all ethnic and religious groups in line
with the constitution. The UK condemns in the strongest possible terms the targeting
of innocent people based on their beliefs. Last year, I publicly condemned the 1 July
attack on a group of Sikhs and Hindus in Jalalabad as "a despicable attack on
Afghanistan's historic Sikh and Hindu community".</p>
