PESHAWAR:
Ishaq Amin, an Army Public School student injured in the horrific December 16 attack passed away on Saturday, after undergoing  treatment for almost two months in a Combined Military Hospital (CMH).


Ishaq, a 2nd year FSC student and resident of Nothia area in Peshawar, was receiving treatment at the CMH Peshawar since he was brought there on the day of the attack in critical condition.

Ishaq's brother Amir was also injured in the APS attack.

"Ishaq's had two operations both of which failed. He died on Saturday," Ishaq's older brother Waqar Amin said. "The government is responsible for his death as his treatment was completely neglected.”

I will register an FIR against K-P Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Waqar added.

The brazen December 16 attack killed more than 150 people, most of them students. Many received critical disabling wounds, while experts have pointed out that survivors also suffer from various forms of psychological distress.

Meanwhile, some students have been shifted to other cities and abroad for treatment that was not available in Peshawar.
