Abu
Sakha is a 23 year old Palestinian. He has been working at the
Palestinian circus school for four years inspiring and giving hope to
children every day. On the 14th December he was arrested by Israeli
forces. No charges have been pressed against him but the Israeli
government can hold him indefinitely without charge. This is called
'administrative detention'. He has no contact with friends and family.
Inhumane conditions including torture and solitary confinement are
standard procedure in Israeli prisons. Abu Sakha is one of hundreds of
young Palestinians being held without charge. The Israeli practice of
administrative detention has been condemned on numerous occasions by the
UN Human Rights Office and the Human Rights Committee that oversees
implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights, which Israel has ratified.
