African children, whose parents bring them to "Israel" illegally will now be held in Givon Prison in Ramle, rather than a special facility for migrant youth, in violation of international law concerning the treatment of children and a 2011 "Israeli" High Court ruling.
According to a report in "Israeli" daily Ha’aretz, the move to place the children in prison came after six boys escaped from the youth facility last week. The children will now be housed in an adult prison according to the "Israeli" prison service, in order to ensure that no more children escape.
Although children are being housed in a separate wing from adults, the facility is still a prison designed for adults. The "Israeli" prison service claims that the situation is temporary.
