Ten Taliban gunmen have been imprisoned for life for shooting the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai in the head in 2012, when she was returning home from school in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
The Taliban gunmen had shot Yousafzai, who was 15 at the time, for her brave campaign for girls' education in Pakistan; she defied their ban on educated girls and hence, was shot by them.
In the 2012 attack against Yousafzai, two of her classmates were also injured. Two of her classmates were injured in the incident.
It is believed that the attack was ordered by the Taliban leader, Maulana Fazlullah, in order to punish Yousafzai for her very outspoken campaign against their rules and also for including a blog on the BBC website.
While many welcome the verdict against these men, however, many doubts remain over whether the person who shot Malala Yousafzai has been brought to justice.
Samar Minallah, a women's rights activist in Swat Valley, also a friend of the Yousafzai family expressed, “Malala Yousafzai cannot come back to the country. She is still under threat and until she can safely return and live among her people, real justice will not be served.”
