The family of Aitzaz Hasan – the courageous teenager who sacrificed his life to stop a suicide bomber from attacking his school in Hangu – allegedly faces threats from Taliban. The family received a threatening letter from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, which stated that “Aitzaz Hasan is not a hero nor a martyr. Aitzaz’s brother Mujtaba should stop meeting media and officials of government institutions otherwise he will be responsible for any loss.” The 15-year-old student became a national hero after his act of bravery on January 6, 2014 saved hundreds of lives. He was later awarded the Sitara-e-Shujaat.
