Palestinian kindergarteners protested Israel’s jailing of 350 Palestinian children in a march organized by the Hebron-based group Human Rights Defenders and the residents of Shuhada Street. The children rallied for 3 prisoners in particular, Shadi Farrah, 12, who has already served 2 of his 3 year sentence and 2 girls, Razan Abu Sal, 13, who was sentenced to 13.5 months, and Ahed Tamimi, 17, who was detained at age 16.  The kids chanted, “every child deserves a childhood," and asked the int'l community to protect them and for int'l law to be upheld.
