Palestinian kids detail abusive interrogations, arrests

[azurnoir]

DCI-Palestine (Defense for Children International – Palestine Section) gathered in 2013 testimonies from Palestinian children who were arrested by the Israeli military and studied 107 arrests made in the OPT. From these testimonies arose a glaring and shocking pattern of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, which include: physical and mental abuse; verbal and physical violence; sexual harassment; threats of violence, and; humiliation. Sometimes these practices are aimed at getting confessions from these children and at times, they do not serve any apparent purpose, and are done for their own sake.

1. The right to remain silent?

Gee, I had no idea people were 'Mirandized" in Israel.

These 972 writers and NGO activists need to work on their propaganda.

2. you're right staying silent is taken as an admission of guilt

not only that but


Entirely true. Much safer to plead guilty – preferably with a plea bargain – even if innocent, and get a lighter sentence. Defendants will perjure themselves by pleading guilty for their own benefit.

albeit I wonder if the lighter sentence applies to Palestinian
