Alert: 15th Jan 2016 - Free the children - #FreeAhmadManasrah - Protest G4S complicity in torture & caging of childreninminds  Date: Fri 15th Jan 2016 2:30pm-4:30pm 13th January 2016, www.inminds.com Assalaamu Alaikum The Israeli occupation is specifically targeting children during its current invasions into Palestinian cities and the villages. Two thirds of Palestinians abducted by the Israeli occupation forces are children - well over 1200 children in 2015. In November 2015 Israel authorised a bill that will allow the civilian courts to imprison 12 year old Palestinian children for taking part in protests - what Israel calls “nationalistically-motivated” crimes, and to heavily fine their families as punishment for their children's activism. The military courts are already caging 12 years old children but now the new law will extend this to Palestinian citizens of Israel and residents of East Jerusalem who are governed under civilian law. The human rights group Addameer documented that as of Dec 2015 470 Palestinian children are caged in Israeli dungeons - the highest number on record. These caged children include 11 years old Ali Alqam and 13 years old Ahmad Manasrah. Most of these children are caged in G4S secured prisons. This week the British documentary programme Panorama revealed the British security contractor G4S's abuse of children at a young offenders centre in the UK which has now lead to 5 arrests. As shocking as the revelations are, we want to say that Palestinian children's lives also matter, and G4S's complicity in the brutal on-going torture of Palestinian children must stop. Please join us outside the London HQ of G4S to demand the release of the children, including Ali Alqam and Ahmad Manasrah, and to demand G4S end its complicity in torture and abuse of children.  LIVE UPDATES DURING PROTESTWe will, inshAllah, be tweeting live from the protest with live photos being uploaded to our twitter and facebook page. So if you can't join us on the day, please help us by sharing the photos as they get uploaded. https://www.facebook.com/inmindscom https://twitter.com/InmindsCom

 [all videos (over 200)..] Featured MP3 Podcast  "[Deportation at the airport] We saw the injured [Turkish] men going through.. a lot had a leg cut out of their trousers or an arm cut out of their top. It had been cut out to treat their wounds.. they were covered in blood, blood that had been there for three days, and some of them had wounds that were still bleeding.. What upset me most was seeing the dozen men, one after another, hobbling across the terminal, with a bandaged foot. I couldn't ask them why so many of them had a bandaged foot, I couldn't ask them what had happened, because if they spoke or if any of us spoke to them the Israelis beat the injured person.. We later found out that they had these injuries on the tops of their feet from when the troops came down from the helicopter on the Mavi Marmara, and they came down firing - they had been shot from above. Some of the men that were killed were shot at close range - head and chest, but a dozen of the men who were shot, among 59 people who were shot, they were shot at the tops of their feet - the bullets were coming down.. They weren't given a wheelchair or a pair of crutches, and if any of the other passengers stood up and tried to offer [help].. that person was dragged away and smacked by these Israelis. The Israeli soldiers sat on the floor, laughed and sniggered and made every one of these Turkish men hobble and hop all the way across, some 200 metres, everyone of them, one by one, made to do that purely for the sick amusement of the Israeli soldiers."
