<p>Hazara people, and other ethnic and religious minorities, have long faced attacks
and discrimination in Afghanistan. We are monitoring the situation closely, including
concerning reports of targeted killings and forced displacement in recent months.
FCDO officials regularly raise human rights, including the rights of minority groups,
in discussions with the Taliban, and urge them to uphold the rights of all Afghans.
The Government has also made clear our serious concerns about the human rights situation
in Afghanistan, including through statements from the UN Security Council, the G7
and women foreign ministers.</p><p>The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS)
prioritises those who have assisted UK efforts in Afghanistan and vulnerable people,
including members of minority groups at risk. Since the end of Op Pitting, the Government
has supported over 4,600 individuals to leave Afghanistan. We will continue to work
to ensure those still in Afghanistan are able to depart the country safely.</p>
