1. Palestinian child arrest figures top 2,000 in 2nd Intifada
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 10:31 PM by Wonder
article from June 2003

snip
An estimated 2,000 Palestinian children will have undergone the trauma of arrest by Israeli military forces over the course of the second Intifada from September 2000 to end-June 2003*. The high number of arrests reflects the ongoing Israeli crackdown in Palestinian areas which began during the invasions of March-April 2003, and the use of repressive tactics against the civilian population, even minors.

snip

The majority of minors are released after 18 days, according to military order 1500 which enables the Israeli army to hold a Palestinian child or adult, without charges or trial for up to 18 days.

snip

However, some children are taken through a military judicial process and imprisoned in Israeli military detention centres, camps or regular Israeli prisons (under -16's and girls) for political charges. There are between 330-350 child prisoners currently held in the Israeli detention system. These numbers are estimates, since the Israeli government doesn't give the necessary information on Palestinian detainees to attorneys.
