Muhammad’s mother said that she will continue to remind the settlers of their crime they committed against Muhammad the cheerful child who loved people and people loved him.
“Muhammad had six siblings and I wanted him to be happy in his life” she added.
Freedom Path
While laying a wreath of flowers on Muhammad’s grave his family confirmed that what happened was one of the most heinous crimes committed against a Palestinian child. Family members said that children of Palestine similar to the adults pay the price for the path towards freedom.
Muhammad was kidnapped tortured and burned alive by settlers at dawn on July 2 2014 and his body was found in the forests of Deir Yassin.
After announcing his martyrdom a popular uprising was launched in Jerusalem and all its neighborhoods.
