Shehrbano Taseer
Shehrbano Taseer Shaikh (Urdu: شہربانو تاثیر) is a journalist with Newsweek and Daily Times, a social and political activist, and the daughter of Salmaan Taseer, the Governor of Punjab, Pakistan who was assassinated in 2011.[1] Militants have threatened to assassinate her if she continues her political activism, drawing comparisons to Malala Yousafzai.
Family
Her father, Salmaan, was half-English and half-Punjabi Kashmiri, while her mother, Aamna, is Punjabi. She has a half-brother, Aatish Taseer, and five siblings: Shaan, Shehryar, Shahbaz, Sara, and Sanam. She is the youngest of Salmaan's children.
In August 2011, her brother Shahbaz was kidnapped by militants.[2] Shahbaz Taseer was recovered by security and intelligence forces from Balochistan’s Kuchlak area on 8 March 2016, nearly five years after his abduction in 2011.[3]
In April 2015, she married Amin Ellahi Shaikh,[4] a member of the Board of Directors for Nagina Group,[5] one of Pakistan's largest companies, and the heir apparent to the company, which his parents founded. He is also the Non-Executive Director of Ellcot Spinning Mills, one of Nagina Group's subsidiaries.[6]
