Sardar Sahil, 30-year-old Hazara lawyer and rights activist, sports his licensed gun as he gets ready to leave for office, at his home in Hazara Town, Quetta, Pakistan, June 14, 2019. "We are living under siege for more than 1-1/2 decades due to sectarian attacks," said Sahil. "Though all these checkposts were established for our security, we feel we were ourselves also cut off from other communities." Sahil carries a pistol whenever he leaves home, and relies on his faith as a second layer of security. "I kiss my mother's hand and she kisses me too and says goodbye with her prayers and good wishes," Sahil said. REUTERS/Akhtar Soomro SEARCH "HAZARA MINORITY" FOR THIS STORY.
