Over 12,000 Palestinian children have been arrested since 2000! No matter where you stand on this conflict we can all agree no child should be thrown into a military prison without a fair trial and subjected to abuse.
I have personally reached out to diplomats. But my voice alone is not strong enough. That's why I'm appealing to you to stand with me now. We know the military judges don't want global attention on them and Israel's politicians don't want the issue of child prisoners to become a massive public scandal. Add your name -- we only have days.
I have been inspired by this movement's strength and passion for freedom, justice, and creating a better world for the next generation. That's why I am reaching out to you -- because I know that if anyone can free my daughter and all the children it is the Avaaz community.
With hope and determination

Code Pink notes: "The ill-treatment of Palestinian women prisoners, including various forms of sexual violence, is well documented. Now, leaders of Israeli society are publicly declaring that a 16-year-old girl should be raped!"
