Gaza, IRNA — Abdul Nasser Farvane, a Palestinian-freed prisoner andactivist of captives rights, says about 5,200 Palestinian children havebeen arrested by the Zionist regime since the Quds Intifada in October2015, which includes 24% arrested Palestinians.

He noted Tuesday that the Zionist occupiers have used all theircapabilities to crack down on people and arrest and torture the prisonerssince the inception of the Quds Intifada.

He added, ‘The purpose of these brutalities is to create fear and terroramong the Palestinians to stop and break their will in the resistance.’

Farvane also continued, ‘Perhaps the most dangerous issue that the Intifadawitnessed was the increase in violations of the rights of Palestinianchildren and the adoption of a set of laws aimed at expanding the scope ofthe arrest of children and issuing sentences against them.’

The Palestinian researcher, reminding that the Zionists are using thisweapon in violation of international conventions, said all the statisticsand information show that Palestinian children are detained from differentages and that since 2011 they have been detained in an extraordinarymanner.
