Nazareth - Palestinian legal sources in the 1948 occupied areas have warned that Palestinian juvenile prisoners in the Zionist Talmund prison were suffering from very bad imprisonment conditions.

Lawyer Khaled Zabarqa, affiliated with the Mizan legal society, said that international human rights organizations should act to end the oppression of those juveniles.

He quoted detainees as saying that they were suffering from humiliation and inappropriate detention conditions. They said that each three of them were locked up in one cell that contained only two beds.

The detainees said that meals offered to them were very bad in quality and quantity and had very bad smells but they were forced to eat them because there was no other alternative.

The detainees said that they were penalized for the most trivial reasons and frequently fined. Furthermore, they were deprived of family visits, the lawyer quoted them as saying.

The detainees asked Zabarqa to appeal on their behalf for an immediate international legal and humanitarian interference to improve their conditions.
