Israel violates Jerusalemite children

An Israeli court on Sunday sentenced a 15-year-old Palestinian boy in occupied Jerusalem to one year imprisonment for throwing stones at Israeli occupation police.

Local sources said that the Magistrate Court in Maskobeh turned down a request by lawyer of the child Motez Al-Rajabi, from Silwan town in occupied Jerusalem, to release him on bail.

The sources said that the child’s charge was throwing stones at Israeli policemen during the recent disturbances in Silwan.

Tens of Jerusalemite children have been thrown into Israeli jails in 2010 for the same charge.
