Hazara Shias bury victims four days after deadly Quetta bombings
[Dawn] After braving three nights in Quetta's freezing temperatures next to their slain loved ones, the families of dozens of bombing victims ended their protest and buried the bodies amid strict security measures in a Hazara graveyard on Monday.

Relatives, friends and members of Hazara community had camped out at major intersections of the thriving provincial capital for last four days to protest killings of more than 100 persons in twin suicide kabooms.

A total of 83 dead bodies were buried on Monday. A large number of people participated in the funeral while strict security measures were adopted during the burial. Protesters also rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against law enforcement agencies for their failure to provide protection to them.

The community ended their almost four-day demonstration Monday after the federal government accepted their demands for protection by sacking the provincial government.

invoked Article 234 of the Constitution, dismissing the provincial assembly and instating Governor Zulfikar Ali Magsi as the Chief Executive of the province.

"After holding consultations with all the stakeholders, we have decided to invoke Article 234 of the Constitution. Governor's rule is being imposed in the province and the provincial government is being dismissed," the premier had announced in front of the Hazara representatives.
