OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) decided to banish a 17-year-old Palestinian boy from his parent's home in Silwan, occupied Jerusalem, for two weeks.
The Palestinian prisoner's committee denounced such a method in dealing with Jerusalemite children in a statement on Monday.
It called on human rights groups to intervene and demand a halt to the new deportation policy practiced by the IOA against Palestinian citizens, describing it as the severest kind of punishment and a violation of human rights.
The committee noted that the IOA arrested the boy, Suhaib Al-Rajabi, from his home and put him under arrest for two days on the charge of throwing a firebomb at the Israeli occupation police before ordering him to stay away from his parent's home for two weeks.
It noted that Rajabi was sent to his brother's home in Enata, north of occupied Jerusalem, adding that such a policy of banishing children ran contrary to human rights.
