Malala Yousafzai: Still defiant, girl shot by Taliban is walking, talking – and studying

The father of a girl shot by the Pakistani Taliban for wanting to go to school said his daughter would “rise again” and has started walking and talking after asking for schoolbooks to be brought to hospital in Birmingham.

Ziauddin Yousafzai arrived at the bedside of his daughter, Malala, last night after flying from Pakistan with his wife and two sons.

The 15-year-old was shot in the head at close range a little more than two weeks ago. Mr Yousafzai said the family had a tearful reunion and that the world’s response marked a watershed for Pakistan. “I love her,” he said during an emotional news conference at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Friday. “Last night when we met her there were tears in our eyes out of happiness. For some time we all cried a bit.

“The person who attacked her wanted to kill her, but she fell temporarily. She will rise again and she can stand now. But when she fell, Pakistan stood and the world rose. This is a turning point.”

Her skull will need reconstructing either by reinserting bone or using a titanium plate.
