WEST BANK villager Bassem Tamimi revealed today that he has finally been able to visit his teenage daughter Ahed and wife Nariman in an Israeli prison for the first time since their arrest in December.

The Palestinian activist spoke to wife and daughter by phone for 45 minutes yesterday, separated by a window, following Red Cross assistance to get a permit for two visits over a three-month period.

“They are good. Their morale is very high,” he said, adding that Ahed spends her days reading and doing school work, focusing on her English studies.
