  "en": "Encyclopedia.com entry on Sima Samar; it dates her birth to 4 February 1957 (a one-day variant on the followed date) and states 'Her family is from the Shi'ite Muslim Hazara minority' — a family attribution, not an attestation of her personal school — and records her 2002 resignation after a blasphemy accusation of which it says she was acquitted."

Its family-level Shi'ite attribution is one of the pieces of evidence weighed — and found insufficient on its own — in the person record's faith note; its birth-date variant is recorded in the born note.",
