Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating education for girls, has been moved to the UK for further treatment. (Updated with petition link).
As reported on Digital Journal, 14-year-old Malala was shot in the head last Tuesday by a Taliban insurgent. The attack on her was made due to her campaigning for the right of young females to education in Pakistan.
Malala was shot in the head and neck while she sat with classmates on a school bus as it prepared to drive students home from morning classes in Mingora, a city in the Swat valley.
