Pakistanis protest against takfiri tearrorists attacks

33dafd7be01a577f05d2659b81d68b2e_LThousands of protesters have staged mass rallies against a recent deadly bomb attack on Shia Muslims leaving more than two dozen people dead in southwestern Pakistan.

According to Press TV, most of the protests took place in major cities where demonstrators chanted slogans against the ongoing violence aimed at Shia Muslims across the militancy-riddled country.
A mass sit-in protest was also held near the 29 dead bodies of Tuesday’s blast in the southwestern city of Quetta.
“We will continue our protest until perpetrators of the blast are brought to book,” said Syed Ahmed Raza, a regional lawmaker and leader of the Shia Hazara Community in Quetta.
The pilgrims had been returning from Iran on a bus when the blast ripped through the vehicle in the south-western Balochistan Province.
This is also the latest deadly incident in a wave of violence against the Shia Muslim community in Pakistan.
The protesters also expressed their “categorical rejection of hate speech and incitement to violence” against the Shia Muslims.
Reports say the anti-Shia terrorist group of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and other pro-Taliban groups were behind most of the attacks on Shia Muslims in Pakistan.
Human Rights Watch says hundreds of Shias were martyred in Pakistan in 2012 and 2013, which were the deadliest year on record for the Shia Muslim community.
