Statement Issued by the Office of His Eminence (May God Preserve Him) Regarding the Heinous Crimes in the City of Parachinar, Pakistan

In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
(Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him is our return)

To the believing brothers and sisters in Parachinar, Pakistan:

Peace and blessings be upon you.

Once again, the extremist terrorists have committed a heinous crime, carrying out an armed attack on travelers on their way from Parachinar to Peshawar, which led to the martyrdom of many innocent believers and injury to others.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to you and express our sorrow and sympathy to the bereaved families, and we ask Allah to grant everyone patience and solace and speedy recovery to the wounded, and to elevate the ranks of the martyrs of this tragic incident.

The Najaf Seminary and the highest Shia religious authority strongly condemn this horrific crime that targeted the unity of Muslims. We urge the respected Government of Pakistan to seriously consider ways to protect the oppressed from the cruelty and crimes of terrorist groups. We also call for preventive and necessary measures in this regard to ensure that believers are not subjected to violent and brutal attacks by extremist groups.

We ask Allah to grant continued honor and dignity to the noble Pakistani people.

Office of Sayyid al-Sistani (may his life be preserved)
