Here's a contribution Israel makes to the world..............
...............the torture of Palestinian children.
...............the torture of Palestinian children.
And you wonder why they throw stones at passing cars?A new UNICEF report, Children in Israeli Military Detention, is sharply critical of Israels treatment of detained Palestinian children. According to UNICEF, 700 Palestinian children aged 12-17, most of them boys, are arrested and harshly interrogated by the Israeli military, police and security agents every year in the occupied West Bank.
In some cases, stated UNICEF, it had identified practices that amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention against Torture (CAT). The UNICEF report confirms what many human rights activists (including Israeli individuals and organizations) have been denouncing for years.
The UNICEF report is the result of several years of information gathering by the UN agency related to grave violations committed against Palestinian children in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory, including the arrest and detention of children.
