#Petition: Free Ahmad Manasra - #FreeAhmadManasra

In 2015, a leaked video revealed Israeli police attacking and throwing 13-year-old Palestinian boy Ahmad Manasra onto railroad tracks, fracturing his skull. Ahmad was then seen handcuffed while in an induced coma. Five years later, he’s still being interrogated over the incident. He is one of nearly 700 Palestinian children a year who are imprisoned in Israel. Sign Lakma’s petition to join 200,000 others around the world who are calling for Ahmad’s release and an end to the violence against Palestinian children. #FreeAhmadManasra 252,011 have signed Palestine-Global Mental Health Network’s petition. Let’s get to 300,000!

AR | FR | IT  FREE AHMAD MANASRA NOW The Palestinian-Global Mental Health Network asks all international colleagues in mental health and all persons of good will to sign below, demanding for the immediate release of the young Palestinian man Ahmad Manasra to his family after six years of profound systematic abuse in an Israeli prison. Ahmad Manasra, when 13 years of age, was accused of participating in an “attempted stabbing. A video from that time shows Ahmad on October 12, 2015 being thrown by the Israeli police and settlers onto the railway tracks of occupied Jerusalem—causing a skull fracture. Photos then reveal Ahmad wearing handcuffs while in an induced coma with a respirator the ICU. Subsequent interrogation was videotaped and leaked to local and international media, displaying Ahmad pleading, “I do not remember, by God Almighty! Get a doctor and let him open my head to show how I do not remember,” as the interrogator insulted him and tortured him for hours with an electronic bracelet pressing on his hands. The case of Ahmad speaks for many. The DCI report describes the fate each year of “approximately 500-700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12 years old, who are detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system. The most common charge is stone-throwing.” Join us by signing this petition and by initiating global campaigns to free Ahmad Manasra and others like him from the devastating physical and psychological intimidation to which he has been subjected in his own homeland.
