It was the first day of school for #Rizwana who was welcomed by her classmates at the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau. The minor girl was discharged from the Lahore General Hospital on Dec 6 following 18 weeks of treatment, after she was brutally tortured by her employers—a civil judge and his wife. @cpwbpunjab officials say Rizwana will continue to get proper medical facilities.

Saw Asma Jahangir with utter awe and admiration. Wish I could have a fraction of her courage. She had an unrivalled ability to speak the truth and impeccable integrity. Have not seen anybody fighting for the underdog with such zeal. UN has honoured itself by recognising her.

Jahangir became the fourth Pakistani woman to be awarded the UN Human Rights Prize. Before her, Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan (1978), Benazir Bhutto (2008) and Malala Yousufzai (2013) were accorded the honour.
