Palestinian children detained at night in harsh conditions
Queen Rania Al Abdullah condemned during a session at the United Nations the horrible conditions faced by Palestinian children detained in Israeli prisons. She pointed out that children are taken from their homes at night without knowing where they are being taken, and they are subjected to torture, assault, and threats. Some of them have died during detention, and their bodies are retained. She based her statements on findings from a UN investigation committee that confirmed children are subjected to torture and noted that these detention practices are linked to a political and legal system. She explained that 99% of former detained children experienced abuse, more than half of them suffered sexual violence, and there is ongoing grief and delays in returning to school.
