10 coal miners were brutally beheaded on January 2, by Daesh militants in the Machh area of the southwestern province of Balochistan.
In history, militants had attacked Pakistan’s marginalized ethnic minority of Hazara many times. Seven Afghans were also amongst the victims.

The families of the killed coal miners protested on the main road in Quetta for the next six days. They refused to bury the dead bodies until Prime Minister Imran Khan came to meet them and the authorities are held responsible.
On Saturday, the government officials reassured the grieving families of protection and convinced them to perform the burying rituals.
However, the past does not show the state keeping its word. The world has to see if the government will finally apprehend the responsible. As we wait, we remember the ones killed mercilessly.
