320 Palestinian children in Israeli prisons under worst conditions Beirut, Oct 28, IRNA -- Al-Hayat international Arabic daily in its Monday edition wrote that 320 Palestinian children and young adults aged between 12 to 17 are currently imprisoned in Israel under extremely inhumane conditions. In an article by Mohammad Sharfan, the daily added, "The news is based on an international human rights organization focussing on the denied rights of the Palestinian children and young adults, that has published its reports following observing the conditions of the Israeli prisons where they are cooped up. Sharfan adds, "The Israeli prison keepers have severed all contact of these children with the outside world which has made life extremely tough for them, particularly keeping in mind their age range." According to the report by those who have seen the prisons in question, each 11 Palestinian children and young adults are kept in one four-square meter cell in which minimum facilities are at their disposal. They are not allowed to take showers, wear clean clothes, or visit their family members. Al-Hayat adds, "The accusations brought up against the Palestinian children include throwing stones, or Molotov cocktail to the Israeli soldiers, and they have been imprisoned following extra-judiciary, summary trials at Zionist military courts." Sharfan who is himself the lawyer of the Palestinian children, concludes, "The disciplinary forces at the Israeli prisons where these children are kept keep violating all internationally recognized human rights in dealing with them, including torturing them in all possible ways that one can imagine, and I am ashamed to refer to."
