Among them is Ahed Tamimi, the 17-year-old girl whose case has made global headlines since she was
detained in December.
"Yes, I feel proud. Yes, she is strong," said political activist and Ahed's father, Bassem Tamimi. "But she grew up before her age. She lost her childhood because of something we - the world, adults - are responsible for."
