DESCRIPTION:

First held in 1974, Palestinian Prisoners' Day raises awareness of the over one million people, many of whom are children, that have been arrested and detained by the nation-state of Israel, often without charge. Of particular concern is the number of children held without trial, often for petty offenses that, if the child were Jewish, would be, and usually are, dismissed or lightly reprimanded.

The non-profit No Way to Treat a Child explains the situation.

"Each year, the Israeli military detains and prosecutes around 700 Palestinian children. From the moment of arrest, Palestinian children encounter ill-treatment and torture at the hands of Israeli forces. Three out of four experience physical violence during arrest or interrogation. Israel is the only country in the world to automatically prosecute children in military courts that lack basic safeguards for a fair trial."

Non-Jewish children as young as eight under Israel's military detention scheme endure night arrests, blindfolds, restraints, separation from their families and parents, physical and psychological violence, coerced confessions, unlawful transfers, and solitary confinement.

Israel's two-tiered legal system is a crucial determinant of an apartheid state. One set of laws applies to Jewish residents of Israel itself and also Jewish residents in the areas it has occupied in violation of international law since 1967. Non-Jewish residents, including Christians, Muslims, and Druze, live under military laws and courts.

Palestinian Prisoners' Day is a day to learn about this situation and demand lawmakers, in enabling nations, end the ill-treatment and torture of Palestinians, especially the children, under Israel's military detention system.
