Cafe Palestine Twenty One

Featuring short film followed by a presentation by Sawsan, the UK Advocacy Officer of Defence for Children International – Palestine, and a contribution from an ex-child detainee

This Cafe Palestine highlighted the repeated and systematic breeches of UN Convention on the Rights of the Child by Israel through its cruel and cynical policy of detaining Palestinian children.

The most common charge is stone throwing.
