Rattling the Bars: Advocates demand Israel end solitary confinement of Ahmad Manasra, imprisoned at 13
Ahmad Manasra, a Palestinian boy from Jerusalem, was arrested by Israeli police at the age of 13. He has now been in prison for 7 years, and is currently in his seventh consecutive month of solitary confinement. Advocates say Manasra has been severely abused throughout his imprisonment, and has become suicidal and developed schizophrenia. International organizations and human rights experts are calling for Manasra's release, and describe his case as just one of example of a systemic practice of prosecuting Palestinian children in Israeli courts. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, show co-host Mansa Musa discusses Manasra's case with Budour Hassan.
Budour Hassan is a Palestinian feminist and writer based in occupied Jerusalem. She works as a researcher for Amnesty International.
