Zionist Forces Arrest Over 400 Palestinian Children Since Beginning of 2020

The Zionist enemy forces have arrested more than 400 Palestinian children since the beginning of this year until last October, most of them from Jerusalem.

Prisoner club said in a report on the World Children’s Day, that about (170) Palestinian children, arrested by the enemy authorities, and detained in three central prisons: “Megiddo, Ofer, and Damon.”

He stressed that the enemy authorities are continuing to arrest children, and impose more abusive measures against them, despite the continuing spread of the “Corona” virus, as child prisoners face a double isolation process like adults, and they are deprived the connection with their families and lawyers.

Palestinian children, especially in occupied Jerusalem, face systematic arrests, which have had disastrous effects on their fate, through systematic policies to destroy the structure of the Jerusalem community, including targeting child prisoners, with the policy of “home confinement” that affected hundreds of child prisoners over the past years, and constituted the most dangerous policies, by turning their homes into a prison.

The prisoner club called on international human rights institutions, foremost among which is the United Nations Children’s Fund, “UNICEF” to make serious efforts to protect Palestinian children.
