Prisoner Exchange And Palestinian Child Prisoners (EDM2274)

Prisoner Exchange And Palestinian Child Prisoners

EDM number 2274 in 2010-12, proposed by Richard Burden on 18/10/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families, Middle East and Prisons.

That this House welcomes the prisoner exchange which has led to the release of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and 477 Palestinian prisoners with a further 550 to be released in the next two months; notes, however, that the list of prisoners released in the first stage on 18 October 2011 does not include any children; further notes that according to figures released by the Israeli Prison Service and Defence of Children International-Palestine, at the end of September 2011 there were 164 Palestinian children (12 to 17 years) detained by Israel, including 35 between the ages of 12and 15 years; and that Israel's treatment of Palestinian child prisoners has raised serious concerns under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; and therefore calls on the Government and the international community to support the appeal by UNICEF for the Israeli government to release all Palestinian child detainees so that they can be reunited with their families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
