DESCRIPTION:Bassem Tamimi is an internationally recognized human rights activist from 
 the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, where weekly demonstrations challenge 
 Israel’s illegal confiscation of land and water for a neighboring Israeli 
 settlement. Tamimi has been detained by the Israeli military several times, 
 once spending three years in detention without trial. In 1993, as a result 
 of interrogation by the Israeli Shin Bet, he was left unconscious for eight 
 days and partially paralyzed for months to follow.\n\nHe has been described 
 by the EU as a human rights defender and Amnesty International demanded his 
 release as a prisoner of conscious. In 2013, the Tamimi family was featured 
 in a New York Times Magazine cover story, and on August 30, 2015 they made 
 national US headlines when videos of Bassem’s wife and daughter 
 preventing the assault and arrest of their son/brother by an Israeli 
 soldier went viral over social media.\n\nAs part of his 2015 U.S. speaking 
 tour, Tamimi has several dates in the Bay Area to speak about his 
 village’s work for freedom and justice.\n\nFind, join and share the
