The event was organised by peace prize winner Malala and her family, and two survivors of the attack, Ahmad Nawaz, 14, and Mohammed Ibrahim, 13, took part.
The massacre saw nine extremists scale the walls of an army-run school in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, lobbing grenades and opening fire on terrified children and teachers.
“There are these terrorist attacks happening, for example what happened in Paris or what happened in Peshawar a year ago,” Malala said, referring to last month’s Islamic State attack in Paris that killed 130 people.
“It’s not just needed in Pakistan but across the world. If we want to end terrorism we need to bring quality education so we defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred.”
Nawaz, dressed in a traditional shalwar kameez, recounted the horror of the December 16, 2014 Peshawar attack, in which 17 adults were also killed.
“I saw my teacher burned alive in that incident and the friends with whom I was playing,” he told AFP.
“I was surrounded by the dead bodies of those friends. So it was the horrifying experience of my life and I still have nightmares.”
Nawaz was shot in the arm. His brother was killed.
Ibrahim was in a wheelchair, having been paralysed from the waist down.
The Taliban assault dredged up painful memories for Malala’s family: she was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012 after she had publicly advocated education for girls.
“When I was watching all these graphics and all these news on television, my wife was crying, I was crying,” Malala’s father told AFP.
“It was unbearable. It was very hard to watch. Our own trauma revived,” he said.
“We don’t curse people, its a sin to curse and we never cursed Talibans for attacking our daughter, but I must say we cursed them that day.” -AFP

The above article was cut paste from STAR which was merely a publicity for such an young believer who know nothing about life but because she suffer few bullets doesn't make a great person.
Malala, you should be asking yourself and your fellow Muslim believers to correct the situation created by your own believers.
Don't simply talk nonsense and picture others as cruel. But in actual fact your own believers have portrait such an image about Islam in the eyes of he world.
Stop telling others to change the way they look at Muslim but rather change the way the Muslims looking at the non Muslims.
I am not against or anti any believers but through out my entire life I have been extremely tired of your your own believers way of thinking as their are the master on this universe.
What ever the Muslim suffering in any corner of this world is because of your own kind and not because of others.
