The Khiam Rehabilitation Centre for Victims of Torture organised the protest in front of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) offices, Efe reported. The group also presented a letter of protest to the ICRC's head in Lebanon, Christophe Martin, stating that the arrest, torture, trial and house arrest of children constituted both a human rights violation and a war crime.
In addition, the center called on the Red Cross to denounce the arrest of Palestinian children and all inhumane practices against the Palestinian people in the occupied territories. Palestinian teenager Ahed al-Tamimi was arrested last week after appearing in a video that shows her scuffling with Israeli soldiers.
The video, which went viral on the Internet, shows al-Tamimi shouting, pushing and slapping two Israeli soldiers. The 16-year-old girl and her mother, Nariman, were later arrested. People all over the world have condemned their detention and taken to social media to call for their release.
