And it’s worth noting that a good part of the pressures he faced were because he was Shia. That made him an even easier target for the regime and others too.

National Resistance Front (NRF) supporters staged a protest against the Taliban, chanting “Death to Pakistan” and “Death to Taliban” slogans. Pakistan has been nurturing the Taliban as a proxy group for decades.
