RAMALLAH (PIC) 16 Jan -- Israeli jailers have physically assaulted a Palestinian child while [he was] visiting his older brother in Eshel prison, human rights sources said. Ahrar Center for Prisoners Studies reported that the 9-year-old Youssef Obeidat went Thursday to Eshel prison along with his mother and 15-year-old sister in order to visit his brother, who was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces seven months ago. During their search, Youssef protested against the way his sister was searched by Israeli prison guards, which prompted them to severely beat him. He suffered bruises in his body and face. Then, the jailers allowed the mother alone to visit her son. Ahrar Center said that prisoners’ families are usually exposed to assaults and humiliating measures at hands of Israeli prison guards, forcing them to avoid visits to their relatives.
