The family of a prominent Palestinian activist is fighting Israel's arrest of the young woman, saying she is being punished for an online post she didn't write. Israeli authorities arrested Ahed Tamimi this week on charges of incitement to terrorism.
FILE - In this Feb. 13, 2018 file photo, Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi stands inside the Ofer military prison near Jerusalem. Israeli authorities arrested Tamimi this week for online speech that her family insists wasn’t hers. Israeli authorities say that Tamimi is suspected of incitement to terrorism for an Instagram post under her account.
Nariman Tamimi, Ahed’s mother, said the account had been hacked — a common occurrence for the fiery activist. Soldiers held Nariman in a separate room while others handcuffed her daughter. Through the walls, Nariman says she heard the soldiers beating Ahed before carting her away. The Israeli military declined to say where Tamimi is being held.
In a picture he posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, Tamimi sits handcuffed on a bed, the tight grasp of an armed Israeli soldier hidden by her unruly mane.Tamimi’s detention comes as Israel doubles down on Palestinian online expression, rights groups say. PEN America, an advocacy group that promotes the right to free expression, urged Israeli authorities and Instagram to try to clarify the circumstances of Tamimi’s arrest.
