Ahmad Manasra:
- #AhmadManasra is a 20-year-old Palestinian political prisoner whose mental health has dangerously deteriorated after psychological and physical torture during 7 years of imprisonment by the Israelis – sign #FreeAhmadManasra petition: bit.ly/ManasraPetition #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
- At 13, Ahmad was tried as an adult in MILITARY COURT & was imprisoned in adult prison & sentenced to 12 yrs. He was tortured, not allowed to socialize, put in Solitary Conf., & not allowed family visits. Sign #FreeAhmadManasra petition bit.ly/ManasraPetition #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
- After being forbidden a visit from a mental health expert for a long time, he was finally allowed a visit recently (after his lawyers put up a fight.) The expert found that Ahmad is suffering from multiple mental health disorders. #FreeAhmadManasra #Unchilding #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
- #AhmadManasra, like many Palestinian children before him, had his innocent childhood stolen and has a blind eye turned towards him & his story by the world. Sign #FreeAhmadManasra petition: bit.ly/ManasraPetition #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
- According to Palestine-Global Mental Health Network, #AhmadManasra was put in solitary confinement for up to FOUR months. Intl. law states that any solitary confinement over 15 days is TORTURE! The Occupation did this to a KID! #FreeAhmadManasra #Unchilding #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
- The video of #AhmadManasra’s interrogation shows him crying, and screaming “I don’t remember” when he was yelled at and asked leading questions by the Occupation interrogation officers. Sign #FreeAhmadManasra petition: bit.ly/ManasraPetition #Unchilding #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
Israel’s Child Imprisonment:
- According to @Addameer, the Israeli army has imprisoned over 12,000 Palestinian minors since 2000. The majority of them were accused of throwing stones, a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison under military law. #FreeAhmadManasra #Unchilding #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
- According to @DCIPalestine between 2016-2021 155 Palestinian boys were held in solitary confinement by the Israelis during interrogation without lawyers or family members present #FreeAhmadManasra #Unchilding #الحرية_لأحمد_مناصرة
HR2590:
-
The Palestinian Children & Families Act, #HR2590, which, if passed, will condition aid to Israel as long as it imprisons children & demolish Palestinian homes. It is the ONLY bill in Congress that supports Palestinians. Demand congressperson sign on immediately! #FreeAhmadManasra
