Shame on Humanity: 75% of the detainees in zionist israeli jails are children

Ramallah- fficial data showed that the arrests carried out by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in 2013 mainly targeted Palestinian children and youths.

Department of Statistics in Ramallah, in a report on Friday, showed that 75% of the detainees in 2013 were children under the age of 18 and young people between 18 and 30 years old.

The report said that the IOF arrested 3,874 Palestinians since the start of this year, including 1,975 young people (51% of the number of detainees) and 931 children from different areas in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.
