Nine years after being shot by Taliban, noble laureate Malala Yousafzai has been threatened by her shooter again.

Even though Twitter has no suspended all of Ehsan’s accounts, Malala directly raised the question of her shooter being on the loose and openly threatening her on social media. She called out Pakistani PM Imran Khan and the Pakistani armed forces, DGISPR. 

Ehsanullah Ehsan was arrested in 2017, five years after shooting and wounding Malala and her friends. His escape in 2020 caused massive uproar all around the globe. His arrest and subsequent interrogation all have been controversial. Despite being kept in a “safe house” for three years, his last tweet clearly shows he has no remorse nor is he repenting for his actions.
