A Palestinian NGO says Israel holds some 350 minors in its jails amid the silence of the international community. In a statement, the Palestinian Prisoners Society also pointed to the crimes that the Israeli authorities are committing against Palestinian children. Those include direct and deliberate use of fire arms, interrogation and detention without offering food or drinks, beating as well as forced confession. Mona Kandil reports.
