Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is demanding answers after a Pakistani court quietly freed eight of the 10 men charged with coordinating the shooting of schoolgirl and Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai.
Rubio, a senator from Florida, joined forces with California senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, in a letter to the US ambassador to Pakistan seeking “an honest and transparent account” of why the attackers were released.
The senators wrote that they were “alarmed” by reports that eight of the men found responsible for carrying out the 2012 attack, in which Yousafzai was shot in the head while traveling home from school in Swat valley, were acquitted despite being sentenced to 25 years in prison in April.
