Nabeela Ur-Rehman

On October 24, 2012, Nabeela and her brother were learning how to tend garden plants with their grandmother (who was also the local midwife) when a drone strike wounded the children and killed their grandmother. One year later, Nabeela spoke to the US Congress, telling her story and expressing her grief over the death of her care-giving grandmother because of the drone program.
