STC: Incarceration conditions of Palestinian children in Israeli jails shocking

Britain-based Save the Children organization revealed facts described as "shocking" related to incarceration conditions of Palestinian children in Israeli occupation jails, pointing out that the most disturbing phenomenon observed by international organization was that Zionist regime kidnap children and issues sentences against them harsher than others.  

According to the organization, Zionist regime's troops kidnapped 6,000 Palestinian children since the beginning of the Aqsa Intifada eight years ago, and there are currently more than 320 children behind Zionist regime's bars, adding that the occupation forces detains on average about 700 children every year.

Greg Ram, the deputy director of international operations of the organization, underlined that the Israeli measures represented by the arrest of Palestinian children even for simple reasons deprive hundreds of them from enjoying their natural rights.

Ram explained that the Palestinian children at the age of 12 get arrested for the most trivial reasons and are taken away from their families to jails inside Israel, adding that Israeli army deprives them from seeing their families for long periods of time and probably do not provide them with lawyers during interrogation.
