Shia Rights Watch (SRW), the international organization dedicated to defending Shia rights, has released its monthly report covering the major human rights violations against Shia Muslims from November 1 to December 1, 2024.
The report highlights terrorist attacks carried out by extremist groups against Shia individuals, alongside oppression and mistreatment by various regimes and governments. SRW emphasizes its reliance on verified sources, including its own networks and human rights activists in affected regions. Some violations remain unreported due to insufficient evidence, as the organization prioritizes credibility and transparency in its mission to achieve justice and equality.
