Minors from Jerusalem are under the Israeli targeting May 14, 2023

Tge Commission of Detainees' Affairs published in a report issued today that children from Jerusalem are subjected to bad treatment and physical and psychological abuse since the first moment of arrest and during interrogation and court sessions. The advocate of the Commission, Hiba Ighbarya, stated according to the testimony of children detainees that they where mistreated by the Nahshon Special forces, without taking into account that they are minors, where they beat, cursed and humiliated them. The series of violence continues during interrogation at Maskoubya detention centre, where jailers attacked Palestinian children and abused them taking advantage from not installing surveillance cameras in these rooms. Children are also subjected to threatening in order to confess guilt. Then they appear before the courts and they get sentenced to long years of imprisonment in addition to high fines. In this context, the Commission stressed on the human rights organisations and the Red Cross to intervene immediately to save children's lives, and called upon them to visit detention centres and to meet their requirements and to practice pressure against the United Nations to release minor detainees.
