The Taliban Failed As 15-Year-Old Blogger They Shot In The Head Recovers


Malala Yousufzai this week

15-year-old Pakistani blogger, Malala Yousufzai, has made a remarkable recovery after being shot in the head and neck by the Taliban, for daring to state women should have the right to an education in her nation. Yousufzai was flown by helicopter to Birmingham, England, where she received excellent care and is now on the mend. 


 

A photo was handed out to the press, revealing Malala reading from a book (see photo posted above). It's great to see she is alive and on the road to recovery. People should be free to peacefully express their thoughts as she did, without fear of retaliation and reprisals. Malala is being nominated for a Nobel Prize and the Judiciary Report is of the belief she deserves it. Here's hoping she will have a bright and safe future.
