Imprisoning a Generation

17 Sep 2019




According to the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), H.R. 2407 is needed to ensure that US taxpayer money is not used by Israel to commit human rights abuses against Palestinian children living under Israeli military occupation. It amends an existing human rights law known as the “Leahy Law” to specifically prohibit US funds from being used for the “military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill-treatment” of children. Additionally, it authorizes the appropriation of funds to monitor human rights abuses and to provide physical, psychological, and emotional rehabilitation to Palestinian children who have been victims of Israel’s military detention system.
