As over a million of children returned to school in occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday nearly 300 Palestinian children including three girls have been deprived of their basic right to education.
The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Studies said that Israeli authorities denied 300 Palestinian children to go back to their schools as they are kept in Israeli custody amid very difficult detention conditions.
Head of the center Raefat Hamouda called on children’s rights organizations to intervene immediately to protect Palestinian children’s right to have safe and unrestricted access to education.
Palestinian children are routinely and systematically tortured and otherwise ill-treated in Israeli jails Hamouda explained.
Such practices totally violate international human rights laws and norms he added calling for an international protection to Palestinian childhood.
