The occupation decides to transfer two Jerusalemite children to internal institutes
The District judge decided last week to transfer two Jerusalemite children to internal “rehabilitation” institutions after an indictment was submitted against them including charges of “attempt murder and possession of knives”; they were arrested on 31/12/2015 while walking in Street number 1 in Jerusalem. Last week, a session was held for 12-year old Shadi Farrah and 12-year old Ahmad Za’tari at the District Court in Jerusalem and an incitement was submitted against them. The “social affairs” report to transfer them to an internal institution was also discussed. Lawyer Mohammad Mahmoud explained that the public prosecution submitted last Sunday an indictment to the District Court against the children Za’tari and Farrah and the judge decided to transfer Farrah to an internal institution in Beit Hanina while Za’tari was transferred to another institution in the city of Tamra in the “1948 lands”; note that both children are residents of the area of “Al-Matar north of Jerusalem. Amjad Abu Asab, head of Jerusalemites detainees and prisoners families committee, explained that the occupation interrogated the children after they were arrested without the presence of their parents and without giving the children the chance to consult with a lawyer which is considered a major violation to the Israeli law as well as international law regarding the arrest of children.
