Israel torture Palestinian children March 16, 2014 An Australian magazine denounces Israeli torture of Palestinian children John Lyons - The Australian diplomats were invited especially to inform Mr Rudd conditions they had found at the Ofer military prison near Jérusalem.Selon the Weekend Australian Magazine gives examples of these allegations - a boy kept in isolation for 65 days; - Other boys in solitary confinement under a light 24 hours 24; - A 7 year old boy, Jerusalem, taken for interrogation where he says he was beaten while being interrogated; - Three children suffered electricity discharges using handheld devices to force them to confess; - The dog food was put on the head and near the genitals of a boy who was blindfolded and brought a dog to eat it, the laughter of his interrogator. Torment of the position The magazine also reports that since January 2007, DCI (Defence for Children / International) collected and translated into English 385 affidavits of Palestinian children held in detention by Israel and who claim to have suffered serious abuse - shock by electricity; - Strokes; - Threats of rape; - Exposed; - Isolation - threats to cancel work permits for their families - the torture of the position, which consists of placing a child in a chair, to chain her feet and tie his hands behind his back, and leave as sometimes for hours. A 10 year old boy says: A soldier pointed his gun at me. The rifle barrel was a few inches from my face. I was terrified to the point that I started to shake. He laughed at me and said: Youre shaking? Tell me where is the gun before I kill you. A 15 year old boy testifies of being attached to a metal pipe and beaten by a soldier, and an interrogator has a device against his body and sent him a discharge of electricity saying, If thou confess no, I continue to shake you. The boy says the interrogator gave him another shock to the point that he could no longer feel his arms and legs, he was wrong in his head, and he confessed. Gerard Horton, Australian lawyer that deals with many issues in its function to DCI, said that one of the Israeli interrogators at work in the Gush Etzion settlement is specialized in child rape threats to obtain confessions. position banana Every time the child moved, one of the dogs bit him. When he arrived at the interrogation center, he had one of his blood arm. The movement was short, but he had the impression that lasted one year. The Weekend Australian Magazine reports that if diplomatic missions and parliamentarians from many countries have visited the juvenile courts, Australian diplomats seemed to show no obvious interest to the court. For Master DCI Horton, Australia remained surprisingly silent face of alleged violations of human rights of Palestinian children. He told the magazine: It is disappointing that, of all the diplomatic missions in the region, Australia has been conspicuously silent on the issue of military tribunals. Australian Ambassador to Israel, Andrea Faulkner, discussed the treatment on children, there are more than a year. Although aware of the issue, nor Ms. Faulkner nor any other Australian representative visited the courts. The Weekend Australian Magazine had access rare for a newspaper, the court - he was allowed to visit three different occasions during the past year, with the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) within this investigation. This week, an Australian official has initiated meetings on the subject in preparation for the visit of a juvenile court by Australian diplomats. Most children brought before military courts are accused of throwing stones and sentenced to prison terms ranging from two weeks to 10 months. According to the IDF, there were at least 2,766 incidents of stone throwing against them or on cars circulating this year. Israeli police spoke of an accident in September in which a man and a child were killed by what might have been caused by a stone thrown at their car. The authorities in Israel do not want to discuss individual cases of children, but according to the spokesman of Foreign Affairs, Yigal Palmor, many things Israel must be improved and works with organizations of human rights but reforms and improvements are slow. The treatment of Palestinian children in the West Bank under Israeli military occupation contrasts with that of children in Israel - Israel, a child can not be sent to prison before the age of 14, while Palestinian children go from 12; - Israel, a child may be subjected to interrogation without the presence of a parent; - Israel, a child can not be questioned at night, when most Palestinian children are abducted from their homes and detained between midnight and 5 am; - Israel, the maximum period of detention without access to a lawyer is 48 hours, while in the West Bank, it is ... 90 days. Recently, the military courts were visited by delegations from parliamentary diplomats from the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Belgium, to Germany, Ireland, Norway, Cyprus and the United Nations. Mr. Horton says that in most cases, DCI requires affidavits before taking charge of the file. He told the magazine what the current treatment for many children: Once bound and blindfolded, the child was taken to a military vehicle ahead, and in a third of cases it will be thrown on the metal floor during his transfer to the interrogation center. Mr. Horton says that the interest (for Israel) of such treatment is to get children to make a confession, as fast as possible. In one case, although the child had insisted that he had signed the confession was false, that he had signed only under pressure, despite this, the confession was used to convict him. A spokesman for Mr Rudd indicated that, during the last appearance of Israel to the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review, Australia had asked Israel reported abuse by inmates. It indicates that the (Australian) Government is against the detention of minors. The opinion of the Australian government for a long time is that all children, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender and any difference whatsoever, should enjoy the same legal protections and human rights, she said. Report on Children in Custody Israeli torture of Palestinian children (Report of the British Foreign Affairs) This is the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released an explosive report on how Israel mistreats Palestinian children after investigation conducted by a delegation of nine British lawyers respected. Their team, led by Sir Stephen Sedley, former judge of the Court of Appeal, reports that all Palestinian children are treated as potential terrorists and violates qulsraël ever the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child which prohibits cruel, inhuman and degrading. What was our shock to attend a preliminary hearing in an Israeli military court, where a young child was brought wearing a brown uniform and chained at the feet says Mr. Greg Davies. the British government, told the press on the occasion of the release of the report, said he does not count much stop there and qulsraël will have to change these methods. We are concerned for some time about this problem and that is why we have commissioned and funded an independent report, said the spokesman of the government. (Articles Guardian and The lndependent) the report also tip the difference treatment and rules for children depending on whether they are Israelis or Palestinians. Israeli children must have access to a lawyer within 48 hours and can not be imprisoned before the age of 14, while Palestinian children can be imprisoned from the age of 12 years and three months detained without legal representation . As to the alleged recent improvements by Israel to this situation, they are more rhetorical than real, estimated the rapporteurs. The spokesman of the Embassy of Israel in London, Amir Ofek has nothing better to answer on this subject that It is the fault of the Palestinian Authority is not able to prevent these children to commit crimes, which requires us to do so. For its part the Israeli government has launched this little phrase of an unparalleled cynicism, which is chilling: In detention, children receive an education of such a level that Palestinian children are known to commit crimes in order to take part To read the full report (in English):childreninmilitarycustody.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Children_in_Military_Custody_Full_Report. Testimony of a journalist on Israeli torturers of Palestinian children. During video that lasts 6 hours, Islam Tamimi, a Palestinian boy of 14, exhausted and frightened gradually broken to the point of putting in denouncing men of his village and inventing fantastic tales that he believes his tormentors want to hear. it is an outstanding document that the Independent had access because it provides an overview of an Israeli interrogation that is almost a rite of passage imposed each year hundreds of Palestinian children accused of throwing stones. Israel has vigorously defended his actions by saying that the treatment of juveniles had greatly improved since the military court for children. But children who have faced the brutal the occupation of justice tell something else. The problem begins long before children are brought to court. It begins at the moment of arrest as Naomi Lalo, an activist No Legal Frontiers, an Israeli group that monitors the activities of military courts. It was during the interrogation that their fate is sealed, she said. Sameer Shilu, who is 12, was asleep when the soldiers broke down the door of his house during the night. he and his brother went out to him their room sleepy eyes and found six masked soldiers in their living room. in seeking the name of the boy on his father the officers identity card has seemed shocked when he realized he had to stop a child, tells Sahers father Sameer. he said its you and I said that it was not me. Then he asked me: Who is and I said I did not know. Said Sameer At some point, the man began screaming and grabbed me by the collar and said, Ill throw you out the window and beat with a stick if you do not confess. Sameer, who protested his innocence was lucky, he was released a few hours later. But most children are so frightened that they sign a confession for fear of physical violence or threat when their families reprisals such as the withdrawal of their work permit. Most often children some as young as 12 are out of bed at night. We put their handcuffs, blindfolds them, deprives them of sleep and food, imposes lengthy interrogations and force them to sign confessions in Hebrew, a language that most do not read. The rights organization BTselem Israeli claims that the rights of minors are being violated, the law fails to fully protect their rights and that the few rights that the law grants them are not respected. According to lawyers and activists, more than 200 Palestinian children are in Israeli jails. You want to stop these children and judge them? Fine, but then its price quotation under Israeli law. Respect their rights! In the case of Islam, the child who is in the video, his lawyer, Ms Lasky, believes the video provides evidence of serious irregularities during interrogation. At the end of the questioning, Islam burst into tears and unable longer to resist his interrogators seems to give them what they want. We see his hand move against heart-pages of pictures to be shown and identify the men in his village who will all be arrested for demonstrating. Her cousin is magnanimous. Its a victim, it is only a child, says Nariman Tamimi, 35, whose husband, Bassem, 45, is in jail. Do not blame him for what happened. He suffered tremendous pressure. Israeli policy has been successful in some sense: by spreading terror among the children, she was discouraged from participating in the protests. But children are traumatized, there have nightmares and are incontinent. Most of them lack a school year or were unable to continue their studies at all. The figures for the detention of children: 7000: The estimated number of Palestinian children detained and tried in Israeli military courts since 2000, according to a report by Defence for Children International Palestine (DCIP). 87: the percentage of children subjected to physical violence while in custody. We think we blindfolded about 91% of them at one time or another in their custody. 12: The minimum age of criminal responsibility according to the Military Order 1651. 62: The percentage of children arrested between midnight and 5 am.

Comment on this article Jean Piere 10/11/2012 4:30 p.m. Reply How Israeli soldiers Palestinian children wake up at night (Video): youtu.be/-jnb6z5HZ34 isa 17/11/2012 11:47 p.m. The Reply war against children in Gaza An entire generation of Palestinians in Gaza lingered: physically and nutritionally retarded because they do not have enough to eat; emotionally stunted because of the pressures of life in a virtual prison and because they face the constant threat of destruction and displacement; retarded intellectually and academically because they can not concentrate - or, even if they can, because they are trying to study and learn in circumstances that no child should have to endure. Even before Israel this week declared Gaza hostile territory - apparently to cut off the last remaining supplies of fuel and electricity to 1.5 million men, women and children - the situation was awful. Due to the Israeli blockade on most imports and exports and other policies designed to punish the population, about 70% of the workforce of Gaza is now unemployed or without pay, according to the United Nations, and about 80% of its people live in poverty. Approximately 1.2 million of them now depend for their daily survival of UN food handouts or international agencies, without which, as said Kirstie Campbell of the World Food Programme, they might starve. A increasing number of Palestinian families in Gaza can not provide their children more than one meager meal a day, often just a little rice and boiled lentils. Fruits and vegetables are out of reach for many families. Meat and chicken are extremely expensive. Gaza is located next to the rich waters of the Mediterranean, but fish is unavailable in its markets because the Israeli navy has limited the movement of Gaza fishermen. The Los Angeles parents who have spent the last few weeks running from one back to school sale to another could be better than spending a few minutes to think about their against-parts in the Gaza Strip. Because of the siege, Gaza is not only short of textiles and other basic goods but also paper, ink and school supplies. One-third of Gazas children started the school year without textbooks. John Ging, director of the relief and Works Agency United Nations in Gaza, whose schools take care of 200,000 children in Gaza, warned that children come to school hungry and unable to concentrate. Israel says that its policies in Gaza are designed to put pressure on the Palestinian population to put pressure in turn on those who fire homemade rockets from Gaza into the Israeli town of Sderot. These rocket attacks are wrong. But it is also wrong to punish an entire population for the actions of a few - actions that the schoolchildren of Gaza and their beleaguered parents are in any event not able to stop. It is a violation of international law to punish collectively more than a million people for something they did not do. According to the Geneva Convention, of which it is a signatory, Israel actually has the obligation to ensure the well-being of the people whom he has chosen to impose a military occupation for more than four decades. Instead, it ignores the law. He ignored repeated requests from the UN Security Council. He ignored the International Court of Justice in the Hague. What refers John Dugard, the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Nations Uniesdans the Occupied Territories, as strangulation carefully controlled Gaza - under the eyes of an uncaring world - is explicitly part of his strategy. The idea, said Dov Weisglass, an adviser to the Israeli government, is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but do not let them starve.
