Young activist receives death threat after Malala Yousafzai's attack
Family that promotes women's development warned that 'your daughter is next'
A young activist from the same area of Pakistan as Malala Yousafzai, the girl shot in the head by a Taliban gunman this month, has been warned in a threatening phone call that she will be next.
Hinna Khan, a 17-year-old from Swat, was named during a call made to her mother's mobile phone two days after Malala, who spoke out against the Taliban, was attacked as she sat in a van with her classmates in Mingora.
Hinna's father, Reyatullah Khan, said: "The Taliban have kidnapped me and tortured me in the past for promoting women's development, but now they are threatening the entire family."
Khan has long publicly opposed the Taliban and in 2008 he gathered a "jirga" of locals to denounce the extremists for forcing schools to close down in Swat. Since 1999, he and his wife have worked through their own organisation to promote development and literacy programmes that support women.
Although he has received threats for many years, he is now taking them far more seriously in the wake of the attack on Malala, who is now recovering in hospital in Britain.
Two weeks before the attempt to kill the 14-year-old, Khan discovered someone had painted a red cross on the gate of the family house in Islamabad.
