The Pakistani woman who was maimed in an acid attack ten years ago can officially call the United States home.
Julie Aftab became a U.S. citizen on Tuesday, almost decade after she was brutally attacked for being Christian in her native Paisalabad, Pakistan and traveled to the United States for treatment.
Since then, Aftab has undergone dozens of surgeries and started a new life in Houston, Texas. She and her host family celebrated at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center, where she took a naturalization oath with about 2,240 other immigrants, according the Houston Chronicle.
"I never thought I would be the person I am today, and it is all because of God and his people," she said in a speech, according to the paper.
Aftab was 16 years old and working at a small store when a man approached her and asked about the cross around her neck, she explained in an interview with Fox 26 in 2010. When Aftab said she was Christian, the man yelled at her for insulting Islam. He left, but returned with another man and threw battery acid on her face, holding her head back and pouring it down her throat.
