Freedom for Palestinian resistance icon Ahed Tamimi
Activist vows to become lawyer to ‘hold Israel to account’

PALESTINIAN resistance icon Ahed Tamimi broke down in tears today as an emotional crowd in her home village of Nabi Saleh welcomed her return from an Israeli prison.

She said she was “extremely happy” to be “in the arms and embrace of my family,” but she added that her “happiness is not complete” when other Palestinian female prisoners are still behind Israeli bars.

“My happiness is not complete without my sisters who are not with me. I hope that they will also be free,” she declared.
