Human rights defender and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yusufzai married in Birmingham reported that she was married. She wrote about this on Twitter.
“Today is an unforgettable day in my life. Asser and I entered into a marriage in order to be together for the rest of our lives, ”said the youngest laureate and posted joint photos with her husband.
According to Yusufzai, the newlyweds had a small wedding. The wedding took place according to Islamic tradition in the presence of both families in Birmingham, where a 24-year-old girl lives.
Yusufzai became famous at the age of 11 when she began blogging on the network. In it, the girl criticized the attempts of the Taliban terrorist movement (banned in Russia) to establish Sharia law in the Swat district of her home province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. On October 9, 2012, as she was walking home from school, gunmen attacked her and wounded her in the head and neck. After completing a rehabilitation course, Yusufzai returned to human rights work in 2013.
In 2014, Yusufzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, making her the youngest Nobel laureate in history. Previously, this status was enjoyed by the English physicist Lawrence Bragg, who received the award at the age of 25 in 1915.
In 2021, Novaya Gazeta's editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov became the Nobel Peace Laureate. Filipino journalist Maria Ressa also received the award.
