Ramallah (IINA) – The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said Sunday that a multi-language international electronic campaign organized by activists to free minor Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails is expected to kick off on Monday afternoon, WAFA reported.
The campaign will be using the hashtag #FreeAhmadManasrah on the online social networking services, Facebook and Twitter, in an aim to pressure Israel to release minor Palestinian prisoner Ahmad Manasrah, along with other minor detainees held in Israeli jails.
On November 9, a video footage that circulated online showed Israeli interrogators shouting at the top of their lungs at 13-year-old Ahmad Manasrah, whom Israel accuses of being involved in a stabbing attempt against Israelis in Jerusalem last October.
The video showed clips of interrogation during which Israeli investigators verbally abused Manasrah and called him a liar as they questioned him about the incident and his motives.
Manasrah appeared bursting into tears during interrogation, as he swore that he was telling the truth and that he did not remember anything. It showed him begging the investigator to believe him, while crying in despair.
Manasra was then seen crying and agreeing to confess to the accusations against him, stating that he was willing to confess to their claims just because he saw himself in the video, whilst at the same time he affirmed that he would confess even though he did not remember anything.
At the end of October 2015, 307 Palestinian minors were held in Israeli prisons as security detainees and prisoners, including four administrative detainees. Another eight Palestinian minors were held in Israel Prison Service facilities for being in Israel illegally, according to B’Tselem - an Israeli human rights group.
