Malala looks forward to 'Netflix, reading, sleeping' as she graduates from Oxford University

MALALA YOUSAFZAI, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner who once took a bullet for campaigning for girls' education in Pakistan, has graduated from Oxford University.

Malala, 22, who attended the Lady Margaret Hall college, took to Twitter to share two pictures that show her celebrating the milestone with her family.


"Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford," she said in a tweet with photos showing her covered in brightly coloured bits of paper and foam -- a student tradition -- and having a cake with her family, decorated with the words "Happy Graduation Malala".

Malal also revealed her plans for the immediate future -- Netflix, reading and sleeping.

Malala first rose to prominence aged just 11 with a blog for the BBC's Urdu-language service charting her life in Swat under the Taliban.

She was shot in the head by a Taliban hitman in October 2012, and after being flown to Britain for life-saving medical treatment, the family settled in Birmingham.

The Taliban had said it would again target her if she survived.

At 17, Malala was at school there when she heard in 2014 about winning the Nobel Peace Prize along with Indian activist Kailash Satyarthi "for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education".

She later set up the Malala Fund and started supporting education advocacy groups with a focus on Pakistan, Nigeria, Jordan, Syria and Kenya.

Tulsi Gabbard seeks criminal probe into officials behind Trump's impeachment

  • Gabbard has referred the Trump impeachment whistleblower and former intelligence watchdog Michael Atkinson to the Justice Department for criminal investigation
  • The released documents identify no specific crimes, and Gabbard admits she is "leaving it up to the lawyers" to determine what laws were broken
  • The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee warns the move will "chill future whistleblowers"

THE director of National Intelligence in the US, Tulsi Gabbard, has sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department seeking investigations into the whistleblower whose complaint led to president Donald Trump's first impeachment in 2019, as well as the former intelligence community watchdog who handled the case.

The referrals, confirmed by a spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and first reported by Fox News, target the still-anonymous whistleblower who raised concerns about Trump's July 2019 phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
