Annual Violations Report<br />

National Insurance Institute benefits for the duration of internment. If a<br />

child is convicted of stone-throwing or any security crime for a nationalist<br />

ideology, his/her parents will not receive national insurance benefits for<br />

the duration of the sentence. The amendment also allows the heavy<br />

fining of up to NIS10,000 (around $3000) against the families of convicted<br />

children.<br />

November 25 th , 2015: The Knesset passed a first reading of a law<br />

sanctioning the internment of children under the age of 14, contrary to<br />

the current Israeli law. The new law came following the Israeli campaign<br />

targeting Palestinian children in Jerusalem.<br />

December 29 th , 2015: Israeli forces raided Ahrar Center for Prisoners’<br />

Studies and Human Rights in Nablus, confiscating and destroying contents<br />

before closing it until further notice. The raid came in light of the occupation’s<br />

continuous efforts targeting Palestinian human rights institutions active in<br />

defending the rights of prisoners and detainees in Israeli prisons, as well<br />

as Palestinian human rights defenders and journalists. These targeted<br />

attacks arguably aim to silence these institutions and empty them of their<br />

staff, as well as erase all traces of war crimes and crimes against humanity<br />

committed against Palestinians, particularly prisoners.<br />

2015: Israeli authorities issued seven forcible transfer orders from<br />

Jerusalem to Anan Najib, Akram Al-Sharfa, Obadah Najib, Raed Salah,<br />

Mohammad Al-Razem, Hijazi Abu Sbeih, and Samer Abu Eishah. Both<br />

Abu Sbeih and Abu Eisha rejected the orders and protested in the Red<br />

Cross headquarter in Jerusalem starting in December 23 rd , 2015.<br />
