Is she alive? Illegally detained? Secretly sentenced?
Save Palestinian Children/New Generations
18-year old Lina Khattab was arrested December 13, 2014, and immediately detained without formal charges. Her sentencing has been illegally postponed six times.
Inadequate translation, along with denied bail or house arrest, her judge remarked, “Looking at her, I can see the characteristics of a leader.”
The judge scheduled a CLOSED COURT formal hearing at the Ofer Prison for Monday, January 26, 2015, prohibiting her parents and local journalists from attending.
After six days there still is media silence regarding her status.
It has also been reported that Lina was under surveillance by the Nazi State of ”Israel” for her popularity at Bir Zeit University in being able to coordinate protests and speak strongly and authoritatively against the occupation. She is also a celebrated El-Fanoun dancer in a company that has become world reknown for promoting and protecting the Palestinian culture.
Palestinian children and youth are purposely targeted by the Nazi State of ”Israel” for arrest, detention, torture, and imprisonment. The alleged offenses include stone throwing incidents at Nazi soldiers that frequently lack adequate evidence.
It should be noted that under the 4th Geneva Convention acts of resistance against the military occupiers by those under occupation are permitted.
Once in the Nazi military justice system, the Palestinian child is further denied due process that an ”Israeli” child is afforded under the Covenant of the Rights of the Child and also Israeli law. Palestinian children are subject to the Nazi military justice system that is punitive and set up to deny their rights as children and youth, leaving them physically, mentally, sexually and psychologically harmed.
The last time that Lina’s parents saw their daughter, her appearance was starkly different indicating abuse and that she was experiencing difficult conditions which she was able to briefly attest to her lawyer.
Under the Covention of the Rights of the Child, Lina and other Palestinian children and youth are to be imprisoned only as a last resort. They are also to be immediately charged and brought into court withiin 24 hours. They are not to be interrogated without the presence of a parent, guardian or legal representative and questioning must be done by a specially trained investigator who is able to communicate with the chidlren in their native language.
Palestinian children are always denied these rights by the Nazi State of ”Israel” who strategically creates these opportunities to undermine the Palestinian population and further oppress both the child and parent. This is to further oppress the society and create the sense of fear and terror of not being able to protect their children or keep them from harm.
