Islamabad, MINA – The youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize Malala Yousafzai has returned to her native Pakistan for the first time since being shot by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating education for girls.

Precise details of her itinerary have been “kept secret in view of the sensitivity surrounding the visit,” RTE News reported, citing a government official of the trip.

The trip is expected to last four days and will include a meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

Accompanied by her parents, the 20-year-old was escorted through Islamabad’s Benazir Bhutto International Airport under tight security, according to still photographs broadcast on local television.

Ms Yousafzai has become a global symbol for human rights and a vocal campaigner for girls’ education since a gunman boarded her school bus in the Swat valley on 9 October 2012, asked “Who is Malala?” and shot her.

She was treated for her injuries in the British city of Birmingham, where she completed her schooling.

Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, she has continued her campaigning while pursuing her studies at Oxford University. (T/RS5/RS1)
