UN on Monday expressed concern over the continued detention of 16-year-old Palestinian activist Ahed al-Tamimi by Israel.
“What is clear is that people need to have their rights respected. The detention of children is our particular concern and we have made those concerns known” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
Al-Tamimi is well known for her bold activism for a free Palestine. Videos and pictures of her confronting Israeli soldiers have been viral for weeks.
Earlier the teenager and her mother Nariman were ordered to be detained behind bars for an additional eight days by Ofer Court located near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
