The mother of the Palestinian teenage girl NarimanTamimi was later detained when she was attempting to seek information about her 17-year-old daughter’s whereabouts. The mother was arrested five times and was wounded several times, most recently by live ammunition in the thigh on 20 November 2014. Ahed’s brother was martyred during the Prophet’s Saleh weekly march.
