’Israeli’ Court Maintains Detention of 12-year-old Palestinian Boy

Local Editor

"Israeli" authorities decided to uphold the one-year detention of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy who has been held since November for allegedly carrying out a stabbing attack with his cousin, a relative of them told media on Wednesday.

Ali Alqam was first detained on November 10 at a light rail station in the illegal "Israeli" settlement of Pisgat Zeev after allegedly stabbing a security guard, accompanied by his cousin Muawiya, 14, wounding him moderately.

Ali, who turned 12 in detention, was shot at least three times on the scene and had to undergo surgery to remove a bullet from his stomach.
Also in November, Muawiya was indicted on charges of attempted murder and possession of a knife.

Relatively, Ali's uncle told media that a court session for the former was recently held at the "Israeli" court, in which the judge ruled to keep the young Palestinian detained for a negotiable year.

Meanwhile, Ali's lawyer presented several requests to the court to reconsider the boy's detention.

The uncle added that the judge decided to extend Ali's detention on the grounds that he still needs psychotherapy, despite the fact that the boy's parents are able to provide him treatment.

In this respect, "Israel's" widespread practice of detaining Palestinian children, sometimes in the same prison facilities as adults, has been criticized as breaching the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was ratified by the "Israeli" entity in 1991.
