Completing high school in jail did not come without a struggle.

In her press conference Ahed said, "I was afraid I would miss the school year, so I managed with a group of prisoners to study. We challenged the occupation, which tried to ban us from study."

Tamimi said she plans to go to law school and that she hopes to specialize in human rights law so that she can defend Palestinian activists and prisoners on the international stage.

On her arrival in her home town of Nabi Saleh, Sunday, KUNA reports that she said, "I am a witness that the Resistance will continue until the end of the Occupation."

TRT World, a Turkish news channel, shared this clip on Ahed Tamimi's release from prison, her past and her future...

Juan Cole concluded his report with a strong suggestion that international supporters of a free Palestine, as well as believers in justice, should find a way to start a law school fund for Ahed Tamimi.

Israel lurks in the shadows waiting for its chance to return this brave teenager to prison. Ahed will need all the help she can find to smash those barriers Israel will place in her way.

Juan Cole writes that he is ready to contribute to Ahed's law school fund. Do I see hands raised to join him?
