The Amnesty International Launceston Action Group worked with the Launceston Hazara Association to hold the rally, where people from all walks of life came together to show support to those affected by the devastating violence.

The rally featured many speakers from the Afghan and Hazara community, as well as politicians and mayor Albert van Zetten, who voiced their compassion towards those facing turmoil in Afghanistan.

An inspirational speech from Nastaran Jafari, 12, spoke of her journey of resettling in Tasmania and learning English.

Haji Alizada, a member of the Hazara community, spoke of the situation in Afghanistan, where many of his family and friends are trapped.

"We all try to keep contact with our family, friends and those stuck in the country, where violence and executions are rife," he said.

"Many will have seen the vision of Kabul airport where utter desperation was shown."

Mr Alizada says he holds grave concerns for the wellbeing of those being persecuted.

"They are in limbo, they don't know what will be of their futures," he said. "No one wants to leave their homeland unless they are forced to".

The situation in Afghanistan has left many people to call on the Tasmanian and Australian governments to assist.

The state government has pledged $50,000 in emergency funding to the Tasmanian Refugee Legal Service to assist the Afghan community.

The government also advised they will continue working with the Commonwealth to discuss assisting and co-ordinating humanitarian resettlement.
