The poor children living in the 'only democracy in the Middle East'. The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs released a report based on testimonies given by 45 children under 18, from Jerusalem al-Quds, who are held in the Israeli prison of Damon, the Arabic-language Egyptian newspaper al-Youm al-Sabe’ reported. The children said they were severely beaten by the so-called “Nahshon” forces who accompanied them during transfer to and from courts and during transfer from other prisons to Damon. They said that Israeli troops punched and kicked them in all parts of their bodies. The children added that they were subjected to insults in the deportation vehicles, or in the courts’ waiting rooms. One of the elder prisoners who was responsible for the children detained in Damon said that instances of verbal and physical abuse were growing and that signs of beatings were visible on the minors’ bodies and faces when they came back to their prison cells.' https://imemc.org/article/palestinian-children-face-physical-and-verbal-abuse-in-israeli-prisons/ 'No response from the prison authorities.' Of course there isn't. |
