Rani Burnat - Activist and Photographer from Bil'in Village

Rani Burnat has been wheelchair-bound since being shot in the neck by a sniper in 2000. The shooting occurred during a demonstration in Ramallah on the second day of the second intifada. The injury has left him paralyzed from the chest down, with a head wound from which he is still recovering. Despite the difficulties, Rani — now 30 years old — has since started a family and is the proud father of triplets.
In spite of his severe handicap, Rani continues to attend demonstrations against the separation wall in his village of Bil'in on a regular basis.
