British boxer Amir Khan visits site of Pakistan school massacre

Amir Khan visits the school in Peshawar where 132 children were killed by Taliban gunmen on December 16.

British boxer Amir Khan has spoken out about the recent school massacre in Pakistan and has visited the site to pay his respects.

The 28-year-old, who was born in Bolton but is of Pakistani origin, travelled to the military-run school in Peshawar where Taliban gunmen stormed the premises and killed 148 people, including 132 children, on December 16.

Last week in Islamabad, Khan said in a press conference: "Talking about this stuff could be threatening for me, but I just want to speak the truth and tell people what is happening is wrong."

Khan has also helped to raise money to repair the school by donating the £30,000 shorts that he wore when he defeated Devon Alexander in Las Vegas.
