LIVE: Malala Yousafzai Tells Muslim Leaders Not To ‘Legitimise’ Taliban

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai urged Muslim leaders on Sunday not to “legitimise” the Afghan Taliban government and to “show true leadership” by opposing their curbs on women and girls’ education. “Do not legitimise them,” she told education officials at a summit on girls’ education in Muslim nations being held in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. “As Muslim leaders, now is the time to raise your voices, use your power. You can show true leadership,” said 27-year-old Yousafzai. “Simply put, the Taliban do not see women as human beings,” Yousafzai told the conference. “They cloak their crimes in cultural and religious justification.”
