The Afghan government should develop a security plan to better protect minority Shia during high-profile public events, Human Rights Watch said on Monday in a statement.
Their statement came just hours after yet another deadly attack against members of the Shia community in Kabul. A suicide bomber killed at least 32 worshippers, including children, and injured 50 others, at a Shia mosque in Kabul during the observance of a religious ceremony of Arbaeen.
Since July, a wave of sectarian suicide attacks has injured or killed more than 500 members of the Shia community.
Insurgents, affiliated to Daesh, claimed responsibility for this attack, their fourth on gatherings by Afghanistan's Shia community since July 2016.
The group also said they carried out two attacks during the Shia ceremony of Ashura on October 11, in Kabul, and on October 12, in the northern province of Balkh, that altogether killed at least 32 people.
The group also claimed a July 23 attack against a demonstration by mainly Hazara Shia in Kabul, killing at least 85 and injuring 413, the deadliest attack in Afghanistan on civilians since 2002.
