Each year, approximately 700 Palestinian children as young as 12 years are arrested, interrogated and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system. Credible reports of ill-treatment and torture within the system are common and persistent. This Report covers a six month period between 1 July and 31 December 2010, and is based on the sworn affidavits of 40 children detained in the military court system during this period. In 62.5 percent of these cases, the children were accused of throwing stones.
