World’s youngest Nobel laureate and education campaigner Malala Yousafzai has expressed her support for Muhammad Iqbal Lala’s quest for justice in Mashal Khan murder case.
Mashal Khan, son of Iqbal Lala and a journalism student at Abdul Wali Khan University in Mardan, was lynched to death on April 13 last year by a violent mob of fellow students on false charges of blasphemy.
Mashal’s father Muhammad Iqbal Lala spoke at Oxford University, where he was greeted by Malala Yousafzai.
“I am honored to welcome Muhyammad Iqbal Laka to s speak at Oxford University” she said in a Twitter message on Tuesday.
“His son, Mashal Khan, was brutally killed by a mob in Mardan Pakistan, based on malicious allegations of blasphemy. Mashal advocated against injustice & corruption.”
“We stand with Lala to seek justice for Mashal,” she added.
An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Abbottabad is due to announce the verdict in the Mashal Khan murder case on February 7.
ATC Judge Fazal-i-Subhan Khan heard the case in a heavily guarded Haripur Central Jail.
