Israel: Children in Military Custody

Baroness Hussein-Ece Excerpts

Wednesday 12th October 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Hussein-Ece (LD)]

My Lords, how many Palestinian children are being held in Israeli prisons, and how many of them are being held without charge or trial?

[Baroness Goldie]

The information that I have may not be sufficiently specific to help. The most recent information—and these are figures from Israel—is that as of June this year there are 260 children in military detention in the occupied Palestinian territories, including seven in administrative detention, as well as 114 in East Jerusalem.
