509 Hazaras killed in terror-related incidents during last five years in Quetta: NCHR report
2018-03-20
[DAWN] A report released by National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) on Monday stated that 509 members of Hazara community were killed and 627 injured in various incidents of terrorism in Quetta during the last five years.

The NCHR report titled "Understanding the Agonies of Ethnic Hazaraz" lists the incidents of attacks on Hazara

home department.

Narrating heartbreaking details about the plight of Hazara community, NCHR official Fazeela Alyani said, "All these precious lives were lost only in Quetta city."

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the regional head of Hazara Democratic Party (HDP) places the figure much higher than what was being quoted by NCHR.

"More than 200 Hazaras were killed only in two suicide kabooms in this period," Bostan Ali Kishmand said.

Targeted killings, suicide attacks, and kabooms have inflicted harm to daily life, education, and business activities of ethnic Hazara community members in Quetta, read the NCHR report.
