APS Peshawar – It happened in 2014 but every time December 16th comes up on the calendar, we remember
And this December is no different. It is important that we pay tribute to the memory of young, innocent lives lost. It is imperative that we set up foundations, educate our children, give a thought to the lives of the survivors and the courage of the families who have lost.
Yes, it is important that we remember, lest we forget. It is only when we value the lives lost in vain that others will learn to value them too. In 2021, 7 years on from the brutal attack on Army Public School Peshawar, where 144 lives were lost, Pakistanis turned to twitter to remember. Join us as we remember with them.
Baneen Kazmi remembers the terror that struck, first at the school, and then throughout the nation.
