A public prosecutor says a Pakistani court has sentenced 10 militants to life in prison for their involvement in the 2012 attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai.

Public prosecutor Sayed Naeem said the court announced the ruling Thursday at an undisclosed location because of security reasons.

Malala was shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban in valley of Swat for advocating education for women.

Malala, 17, won world acclaim for her campaign and last year was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Pakistan is also seeking the arrest of Mullah Fazlullah, the Taliban leader who ordered the attack.

Pakistan’s military arrested the 10 men last year.

Malala was initially treated in Pakistan, but was later flown to a hospital in Britain, where she now lives with her family.

    • Very much has been expected of the modern Pakistan, and we have been, not disappointed, but deceived, about what the oppressive, suffocating, limiting, mohammedanism ideology can allow the Pakistani society to produce. Pakistan remains, and will remain, a primitive country with the mentality governed by mohammedanism.

  2. The life sentences were entirely too lenient. Death by torture would have been more appropriate for these mad dog mohammedans for purposes of example if not justice. Especially when a life sentence can be arbitrarily modified to "time served," or "guilty party has repented," or…. make up you own version of mad dog mohammedan reasoning. The mohammedan business is not religion, only a very sick ideology.
