Palestinian prisoner Yasmin Zarou al-Tamimi, 21, was released from Israeli prisons on Tuesday afternoon, 17 January. Zarou had spent nearly one year in Israeli prison after she was shot and severely injured and accused of “attempting to stab” an Israeli occupation soldier on 15 February 2016, even though even allegedly, she only tossed a small knife in the direction of occupation soldiers at a checkpoint. When she was shot, she was left injured and bleeding and passersby were barred from helping her or providing medical assistance; she needed multiple surgeries. She was sentenced to one year in Israeli prison and a one-year suspended sentence for five years.
