Transfer of Palestinian minors from prisons a ‘violation of law’
Al JazeeraMoving Palestinian children from one Israeli jail to another without adult supervision puts them at risk, activists say. The Israeli Prison Service transferred at least 33 Palestinian child detainees on Monday from Ofer prison to Damoun without the presence of adult representatives, a move slammed by Palestinian activists and civil organisations. “In addition to the risk of being physically abused by Israeli forces, this transfer puts the lives of these Palestinian children in danger,” she told Al Jazeera, speaking from Ramallah. “This close contact puts the lives of Palestinian prisoners – men, women and children – at risk, as Israeli prisoners make gestures of slitting their throats, threats, and constant stream of verbal abuse,” al-Tawil said. Mansi, who spent 15 years in Israeli prisons before being released late last year, also called on children and human rights organisations to visit Damoun prison “to see first-hand the suffering of the Palestinian minors and the extent of Israeli violations committed against them”.
