Islamabad, Oct. 15 (ANI): Malala Yousufzai, the 14-year-old girl Pakistani education activist, who was attacked by the Taliban last week, has been sent to the UK for treatment, according to a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Monday.
According to the statement, the decision to send Malala to the United Kingdom was taken after consultations with her family members and all expenses for her treatment would be borne by the Government of Pakistan, reports The Dawn.
Meanwhile, an ISPR statement released earlier on Sunday said that Malala had been taken off the ventilator for a while.
Doctors are continuing to monitor Malala's condition, military spokesman Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa had said.
Malala, who earned international fame for raising voice against Taliban oppression in Swat, was shot in the neck and head and two other girls sustained injuries when the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) opened fire on their school van in Swat valley last Tuesday.
Malala, a National Peace award winner, became the voice of all the girls in Swat when she began maintaining a diary on the website of the BBC under the pen name of "Gul Makai". (ANI)
