Officers (R) give immigration forms to ethnic Hazara women who were detained by Indonesian police at Pondok Dayung in Jakarta, October 25, 2012.
Around 120 ethnic Hazaras were detained by Indonesian police as they attempted to reach Australia by wooden boat. Thousands of Hazaras, who are almost all members of Pakistan’s Shia minority, choose to face the ocean’s terrors rather than risk an encounter with the death squads stalking their city’s streets in Quetta. In the past year, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Sunni extremist group, has turned Quetta into a hunting ground. – Text and photos by Reuters.
