The British Pakistan Foundation strongly and unequivocally condemns the brutal and inhumane attack on schoolchildren in Peshawar, Pakistan on 16 December 2014. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.We are devastated by the loss of life, the vast majority of whom were schoolchildren.

Candle light vigils are being organised all across Britain, to honour those who lost their lives. We strongly encourage you to come out and show your support. If you are attending a vigil, please share your thoughts, pictures and comments by using the hashtags #BritishPakistani, #StandTogether #PeshawarAttacks.
