Saudi Arabia should end systematic discrimination against its minority Ismaili Shia community, a human rights group has said. Human Rights Watch (HRW) says the Saudi government has consistently penalized Ismailis for their religious beliefs. Ismailis are treated as second-class citizens in employment, education and the justice system, the group says. It says there are as many as one million Ismailis in Saudi Arabia, a Sunni-dominated country of 28 million. (BBC)
