Ahed Tamimi, fresh out of prison, says she has a ‘political future’

Teenage Palestinian protester Ahed Tamimi vows to keep demonstrating against the Israeli occupation and says she expects to have a “political future,” without elaborating.

Tamimi speaks to The Associated Press after serving an eight-month sentence for slapping two Israeli soldiers in an incident captured on film that has made her an icon among Palestinians and their supporters.

She says she hopes to pursue a law degree in order to document human rights violations.
