14 year old teen Khaled Al-Sheikh from Beit 'Anan village West Jerusalem was kidnapped by Israeli forces; he is under detention for 40 days now; charge? Throwing stones on Israeli soldiers!

Khaled's father, Hussam Al-Sheikh said that Israeli forces kidnapped his son on the 25th December and took him to the Benyamin police center for investigation.

Hussam met his son the same day at midnight. He said that signs of beating were apparent on his face. He added that Khaled was moved to the Ofer prison in Ramallah where he appeared before three courts. The last court accused him of throwing stones and burning tyres, extended his detention period and rejected bail.

Khaled's father added that his son was going through hard times in addition to the brutal beating he takes. "The first time I saw him in court, his hands and legs were cuffed. He was prevented from talking to us," Al-Sheikh said.

He added that his son had Anemia, and his last test showed blood HGB level of 8, and that this was his biggest concern. 

"I don't know whether he [Khaled] is taking his drugs or not, since he had a special diet and medicines"

Khaled's father said when he told the Israeli judge about his son's condition, the judge replied that Khaled was "a security threat to Israel." 

Khaled's father was shocked at the Israeli judge's behavior; that a man in his fifties can imprison and judge children.

"The normal place for children is their school or playground and not prison," he concluded. 

Child abuse cases in Israeli prisons are rampant. .

According to Census Department of the Palestinian Commission of Detainees report, Israeli forces kidnapped 3755 children in the last four years, including 1266 in 2014.
