Summary The Hazara community refused to bury their dead unless their demands are not met.

 

Hundreds of Hazara community members protested against bomb attacks in Quetta that killed dozens of members of the minority community, saying they would not bury their loved ones till the army gave an assurance that it would take administrative control of Quetta.

 

The protesters, including women, children and the elderly, gathered at Alamdar Road with the bodies of over 60 people killed in bomb attacks Thursday night.

 

Despite the biting cold, the protesters said their sit-in would continue till authorities acted to improve security.

 

The protesters said that they would not bury their loved ones till the army gave an assurance that it would take administrative control of Quetta. Leaders of the community said the Balochistan government had failed to protect them and demanded that the army be deployed in Quetta to prevent sectarian attacks.
