Malala Yousafzai hails rescue flight success as plane carrying anti-Taliban lawyer lands in Greece 

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai claimed that the flight that saved more than 100 Afghans from being trapped in Talbian gave people hope and safety.

With 119 people on board, the rescue flight left Kabul around sunrise Monday to fly to Tbilisi in Georgia. There passengers could change to another plane for an additional three-hour flight to Greece.

Many were hiding from the Taliban regime. They had searched house to house in an attempt to seek revenge against former officials.

Malala declared that today’s arrival brings hope and security to so many amazing, vulnerable Afghans. This includes journalists, women’s advocates, and Malala Fund partner partners.
