Ihre Geschichte sorgte international für Erschütterung: Am 9. Oktober 2012 wird die junge Pakistanerin Malala Yousafzai auf ihrem Schulweg von Taliban-Kämpfern überfallen und brutal niedergeschossen. Die Fünfzehnjährige hatte sich den Taliban widersetzt, die Mädchen verbieten, zur Schule zu gehen. Obendrein führte sie für die BBC ein vielbeachtetes Blog über ihren Alltag unter den Islamisten.
