Three years later a Pakistani court has sentenced ten of the men who were involved in the 2010 shooting of Malala Yousafzai. All ten attackers have received twenty-five years in prison, which is considered a life sentence in Pakistan.

“A court found 10 suspected militants guilty Thursday for their roles in the 2012 shooting of Malala Yousafzai, the young education activist who went on to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
The 10 men were sentenced to life imprisonment under Pakistan’s anti-terrorism laws, authorities said.
The trial was conducted in an anti-terrorism court in Malala’s hometown of Mingora, in northern Pakistan’s Swat District, reports said. Judge Mohammad Amin Kundi handed down the verdict.”*
