The arrest, interrogation and imprisonment of Palestinian children in the West Bank by Israeli military forces, police officers and other Israeli security personnel, is not a new phenomenon. Israel has been continuously arresting and prosecuting children since its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967.
Read the 2007 report from `Defence for Children` on the plight of Palestinian children imprisoned and tortured in milatary prisons.

Palestinian children comprise over 50% of the population of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Approximately 60% of children who are arrested in the West Bank and prosecuted in the Israeli Military Courts are represented by lawyers employed by Defence for Children International, Palestine Section (DCI).
DCI lawyers also provide a regular prison visiting service to Palestinian children. During these visits, statements are taken from them about their experiences in custody, particularly their experiences during interrogation.
