Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 17 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 42 members in total.


TREATMENT OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN IN ISRAELI PRISONS

That this House is concerned by recent reports of the treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli prisons; notes that 343 Palestinian children were being held in Israeli prisons at the end of February 2010; further notes that Israel routinely prosecutes children as young as 12; also notes the recent report by Defence for Children International which argues that ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children is widespread, systemic and institutionalised; and calls on the Government to recognise the seriousness of this and to exert pressure on the Israeli authorities to uphold the human rights of Palestinian children.
