answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>​We are extremely concerned about the treatment of Palestinian children detained in Israeli prisons. Reports of the heavy use of painful restraints and the high number of Palestinian children who are not informed of their legal rights, in contravention of Israel's own regulations, are particularly concerning. We continue to make representations to the Israeli authorities on this issue and we remain committed to working with Israel to secure improvements to the practices surrounding Palestinian children in detention in Israel.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/07/2019 15:13:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
