Ahmad Nawaz (15), the boy who survived being killed by the Taliban by playing dead, met with the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Joanne Dodds, on 30th October.

 

He sustained serious injuries when he was shot in the arm during the massacre at his school in Peshawar, Pakistan, which killed 141 people including 132 school children, in December 2014.

 

He has had over 14 hours of surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, to repair bone and nerve damage to save the use of his arm. A metal plate was placed in his arm and an artery was transplanted from his leg.

 

The Pakistani authorities agreed to pay for Ahmad's medical treatment in Birmingham after a high-profile campaign in Pakistan.
