In 2013 she co-authored the autobiography of Malala Yousafzai "I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education and Was Shot By The Taliban"[1] In 2016 she participated 'in a conference designed to legitimize the rule of Syria’s genocidal head of state' Bashar Assad, organized by the British Syrian Society, a “foundation” chaired by Assad’s father-in-law, the London-based physician Fawaz Ahkras. The larger purpose of the conference appear[ed] to be raising money for the regime and its war effort, in part by relieving sanctions against major regime figures.'[2]
