Malala grateful for global support
UK: Malala, the teenager being treated in Britain for gunshot wounds
inflicted by the Taliban in Pakistan, on Friday thanked her global
supporters, one month on from the brutal attack.
“She wants me to tell everyone how grateful she is and is amazed that
men, women and children from across the world are interested in her
well-being,” said her father Ziauddin Yousafzai, on behalf of the
15-year-old.
“We deeply feel the heart-touching good wishes of the people across
the world of all caste, colour and creed,” he said in a statement issued
by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where Malala is being
treated.
Her father added: “I am awfully thankful to all the peace-loving
well-wishers who strongly condemn the assassination attempt on Malala,
who pray for her health and support the grand cause of peace, education,
freedom of thought and freedom of expression.”
The hospital on Friday published photos of Malala sitting and reading
a book, while others showed her poring over get-well cards.
