<div id="divLead">The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, says
Israeli forces continue their mistreatment of Palestinian youths during
detention.
</div>
<br>
<br>
The UNICEF released a report on Monday, saying that “violations are
ongoing,” seven months after an initial report underlined widespread
mistreatment of Palestinian teenagers arrested by Israeli forces in the
occupied West Bank.
<br>
<br>
The international body cited about 20 sample cases of abuse of youths
in the West Bank in the second quarter of this year.
<br>
<br>
The inmates - all male - suffered physical violence such as kicking,
slapping and beating. In 17 cases, the detainees were also verbally
abused.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>“The monthly average for 2013 shows that 219 children per
month were in Israeli military custody, compared to 196 per month in
2012, marking a 12 percent increase,” the UNICEF stated.</blockquote>
<br>
In March, the UNICEF released an initial report, saying the Tel Aviv
regime used “cruel, inhuman and degrading” practices in dealing with
Palestinian youths.
<br>
<br>
“Ill-treatment of Palestinian children in the Israeli military
detention system appears to be widespread, systematic and
institutionalized,” the report added.
<br>
<br>
Some 7,000 Palestinian children, aged between 12 and 17, have been
arrested, interrogated and prosecuted by Israeli forces, the initial
22-page-report said, adding that the majority of them were boys. </div>
