The feedback that we have been getting for Your Story citizen journalist Baktosh Siawash has been immense. He spoke to Shamsia, the girl who had acid thrown on her face by the Taliban as she was on her way to school.

The full story can be seen here on the Your Story homepage.

It has just been put on the bbcworldservice.com homepage and the news programmes home page.

Baktash emailed me this morning saying,

Dear Nina,

just I wanted to share it with you.

Also, he says

A few minutes earlier I heard my report from BBC radio on FM in Kabul.

Baktash will be writing a few words about how he found the whole experience of being a citizen journalist for Your Story, so I’ll post that here soon. Just want to take this opportunity to say thanks to Baktash for his hard work.

Any of your comments to Baktash’s piece would also be more than welcome.
