Defence for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) accuses Israeli occupation forces of “using excessive force and explosive live ammunition against children aiming to kill or permanently maim them.”
DCIP also says that in 23% of cases where children have been detained*, the children have been instructed to sign documents that are in Hebrew, a language they don’t understand.
- “Since 2000, at least 8,000 Palestinian children have been arrested and prosecuted in an Israeli military detention system notorious for the systematic ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children.”
We at C-J Allies are pleased to note that Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA) has endorsed H.R.2407 – Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act. We’re hoping to get more Congresspeople to endorse it.
