A human rights group has said that Israel tortures children illegally. They have called for Israel’s definition of torture to be changed after they found out that children were being kept in outdoor holding pens, or cages, during winter. The practise often lasts for months. 
The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) published a report which said that children suspected for petty crimes were being publicly cages outdoors, with threats of violent or sexual acts being a regular occurrence. The children were also going through military trials without any legal representation.
The Independent reports:

It came as the government’s Public Petitions Committee held a hearing to discuss the issue, which the PCATI said must be addressed with a change to the law.
The country’s Public Defender’s Office (PDO) recently released details of one particularly shocking visit by its lawyers to a detention facility.
“During our visit, held during a fierce storm that hit the state, attorneys met detainees who described to them a shocking picture: in the middle of the night dozens of detainees were transferred to the external iron cages built outside the IPS transition facility in Ramla,” the PDO wrote on its website.
“It turns out that this procedure, under which prisoners waited outside in cages, lasted for several months, and was verified by other officials.”
Although the practice of keeping children caged was reported to have lasted for months, there is no suggestion that the individuals were so detained for that period.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni called for the practice of keeping children in cages to be stopped as soon as she learned of it, and the prison service issued a statement saying the situation had been improved following the “criticism”.
The PCATI said this was not enough, and called for the country’s relatively high threshold for what can be classed “acts of abuse” to be lowered in the case of children.
Their report argued: “Torture is a means of attacking an individual’s fundamental modes of psychological and social functioning” as described in the Istanbul Protocol. Furthermore, “torture can impact a child directly or indirectly. The impact can be due to the child’s having been tortured or detained, the torture of parents or close family members or witnessing torture and violence.”
It said the incident in Ramla was just one example of a broad range of abuses being suffered.
Yesterday the Knesset committee said Israeli law as it currently exists was being violated by the manner of arrest and detention conditions of Palestinian children, the Post reported.
The committee also took issue with the fact that the government appeared not to keep records of the frequency or scope of disputed practices like midnight arrests.
The PCATI quoted figures from the campaign group Defence for Children International’s Palestine section, saying: “The majority of Palestinian child detainees are charged with throwing stones, and 74 per cent experience physical violence during arrest, transfer or interrogation.”
It said Israel was the only country to systematically prosecute children in its military courts, and added that “no Israeli children come into contact with the military court system”

Um grupo de direitos humanos disse que Israel tortura crianças ilegalmente. Eles pediram a definição de tortura de Israel de ser mudado depois que eles descobriram que as crianças estavam sendo mantidos em celas de detenção ao ar livre, ou gaiolas, durante o inverno. A prática muitas vezes dura meses.

O Comitê Público contra a Tortura em Israel (PCATI) publicou um relatório que dizia que as crianças suspeitas de crimes menores foram sendo publicamente gaiolas ao ar livre, com ameaças de atos violentos ou sexuais, sendo uma ocorrência regular. As crianças também estavam passando por julgamentos militares sem qualquer representação legal.

Os relatórios independentes:

Ele veio como Comissão das Petições Pública do governo realizou uma audiência para discutir a questão, que o PCATI disse deve ser abordada com uma mudança da lei.

O Gabinete do país do Defensor Público (DOP) divulgou recentemente detalhes de uma visita particularmente chocante por seus advogados para um centro de detenção.

"Durante a nossa visita, realizada durante uma violenta tempestade que atingiu o estado, os advogados se reuniu detentos que descreveram a eles uma imagem chocante: no meio das dezenas noite de detentos foram transferidos para as gaiolas de ferro externos construídos fora da facilidade de transição IPS em Ramla ", o DOP escreveu em seu site.

"Acontece que esse procedimento, em que os prisioneiros esperava fora em gaiolas, durou por vários meses, e foi verificado por outros funcionários."

Embora a prática de manter as crianças em gaiolas foi relatado para ter durou meses, não há nenhuma sugestão de que os indivíduos foram tão detido durante esse período.

De acordo com o Jerusalem Post, o ministro da Justiça, Tzipi Livni, chamado para a prática de manter as crianças em jaulas para ser interrompido assim que ela aprendeu dele, eo serviço prisão emitiu um comunicado dizendo que a situação tinha sido melhorado na sequência da "crítica".

O PCATI disse que isso não era suficiente, e pediu relativamente alto limiar do país para o que pode ser classificado de "atos de abuso", a ser reduzido no caso das crianças.

Seu relatório argumentou: "A tortura é um meio de atacar os modos fundamentais de um indivíduo do funcionamento psicológico e social", conforme descrito no Protocolo de Istambul. Além disso, "a tortura pode afetar uma criança, direta ou indiretamente. O impacto pode ser devido a que a criança está tendo sido torturado ou detido, a tortura de pais ou familiares próximos ou testemunhar a tortura e violência. "

Ele disse que o incidente em Ramla foi apenas um exemplo de uma ampla gama de abusos de que são alvo.

Ontem, o comitê disse Knesset lei israelense como ele existe atualmente estava sendo violada pela maneira de prisão e detenção condições de crianças palestinas, segundo o Post.

O comitê também teve problema com o fato de que o governo não apareceu para manter registros de freqüência ou âmbito das práticas controvertidas, como prisões da meia-noite.

O PCATI citou números da Defesa grupo campanha para a seção de Children International Palestina, dizendo: "A maioria dos palestinos detidos filho são acusados de atirar pedras, e 74 por cento experiência de violência física durante a parada, transferência ou interrogatório".

Ele disse que Israel é o único país a perseguir sistematicamente as crianças em seus tribunais militares, e acrescentou que "não há crianças israelenses entram em contato com o sistema de tribunal militar"
