Finally, the apex court of Pakistan mentions the Shia victims of takfiri terrorism, as Shias of Pakistan want capital punishment and hanging of the terrorists involved in these killings. 

During the hearing, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government also submitted a report on a 2016 attack at a courthouse in Mardan in which 14 people lost their lives.

 “Injustices are being committed against the Shia Hazara community,” said Justice Asif Saeed Khosa while heading a three-member bench of the apex court on Monday. “The whole country grieves when the funeral processions of members of the Shia Hazara community are carried.”
