Peshawar’s Army Public School was a scene of suffering and brutality on December 16, 2014. More than 100 mothers lost their children in a terror attack.

Even for a nation accustomed to terrorism, it was one of Pakistan's darkest days.

But eleven years on, the victims' families are still seeking official accountability for security lapses and the slow response.
