    10 involved in attempted Murderers of Malala Yousafzai receives 25 Year Sentence

    Thursday's convictions were the first for the attack that took place in October 2012. As Malala traveled home from school in Swat Valley, northwest of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, gunmen boarded the school bus. One of them asked for the young teenager by name before firing three shots, one of which hit the left side of Malala's forehead and went into her shoulder. Two other schoolgirls were also wounded.
    In early 2009, Malala wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban occupation. Militants of the Pakistan Taliban later claimed responsibility for the attack.
    A Pakistani court has jailed 10 men for their involvement in the 2012 shooting of teenage activist Malala Yousafzai. Each of the men received 25 years, which is considered a life sentence in Pakistan.

    According to a security official, none of the four or five men who carried out the attack on Malala was among those sentenced Thursday.
    "But certainly they had a role in the planning and execution of the assassination attempt on Malala," the official said.
    Police believe the gunman who shot Malala escaped across the border into Afghanistan.
    They managed to capture and charge 10 of whom were involved, however the ones who carried out the attack have not been caught and are hiding.

Her advocacy had turned into an international movement. And also the co-founder of Malala Fund a non profit charity for The Malala Fund which empowers girls through secondary education.
    They arrested and convicted 10 of whom were involved, but there are still more attackers at large, it's believed they may have fled across to Afghanistan.

    It's sad that there are regions of this world where children get shot just for desiring education.

    Inb4 some snide "religion of peace" comment.
