Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday urged the protesting members of Balochistan's Shia Hazara community to bury the bodies of the miners killed in a brutal attack in Mach, promising he would visit them "very soon".

On Sunday, armed attackers slit the throats of 11 miners in a residential compound near a mine site in Balochistan's Mach coalfield area, filming the entire incident and later posting it online. The gruesome attack was claimed by the militant Islamic State (IS) group.

Since then, thousands of Hazaras have staged a protest along with coffins containing the miners' bodies in the western bypass area in Quetta, while members of their community have also held protests in Karachi.
