The Pakitstani teen who was shot in the head on October 9th by the Taliban was flown to the United Kingdom on Monday. She will under go intensive reconstruction of her skull and neuro rehabilitation. This women was attacked because of her outlook on how young women should be treated and educated in Pakistan. The people of the country have been outraged. Many have hoped that the government will step up there fight against the Taliban and there allies.
The protests are continuing in Pakistan, but right wing Islamist parties who are usually in the streets rallying against the US and protesting, are refraining from doing so due to the fact that they share common feelings on maintaining Islamic laws throughout the land.
“This shooting sends a chilling effect to anyone. If they [the Taliban]
can shoot a young girl, then anyone can be a target,” T. Kumar, director
of International Advocacy for Amnesty International USA.
