The Palestinian Children – Alone and Bewildered in Cell 36
JUSTICE, PALESTINE - ISRAEL, MILITARISM, SHORT VIDEO CLIPS, 1 Apr 2013

The room is barely wider than the thin, dirty mattress that covers the floor. Behind a low concrete wall is a squat toilet, the stench from which has no escape in the windowless room. The rough concrete walls deter idle leaning; the constant overhead light inhibits sleep. The delivery of food through a low slit in the door is the only way of marking time, dividing day from night.
This is Cell 36, deep within Al Jalame prison in northern Israel. It is one of a handful of cells where Palestinian children are locked in solitary confinement, tortured for days or even weeks. One 16-year-old claimed that he had been kept in Cell 36 for 65 days.
