The Commission of Prisoners’ and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs kept record of 300 cases of house arrest against Palestinian children living in Occupied Jerusalem since late 2015.
The commission’s chairman Issa Qaraqe denounced Israel's escalating crackdowns and abductions of Palestinian children and women in Occupied Jerusalem.
Speaking following visits to Palestinian children sentenced to house confinement, Qaraqe said 300 children have received house arrest orders since October 2015, 20 among whom are still confined inside their family homes.
Qaraqe added that most of the children he met were arrested right after they ended their house confinement terms, which ranged from six months to one year.
In such cases, Palestinian parents are forced to turn into their children’s jailers lest they get penalized, fined, or jailed by the Israeli occupation authorities.
“The policy of house arrest is a punishment both for the child and his/her parents,” warned Qaraqe. “It certainly inflicts serious repercussions on the child’s body and psyche, which affects his/her present as it does his/her future.”
