The 15-year old Abdullah Siam turned himself in on Wednesday to Al-Maskobyeh police center to serve his 100-day prison sentence after refusing to do free public service in the occupation’s organizations. Siam explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center that he chose actual imprisonment for 100 days over “public service” for 5 months considering free public service is Israeli organizations which aims at breaking the will of young men and children.

He remained under arrest for two months and was released with a financial bail and open house-arrest with allowing him to go to school; Siam is in 10th grade.
