JUST IN: A Palestinian-American was killed by Israel and his cousin, a Palestinian-American child, is being held without trial.
Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American from Florida, has been jailed by Israel for over five months without trial. He was 15 when Israeli forces raided his home in Silwad, occupied West Bank, blindfolded him, and took him to Megiddo Prison known for torture and medical neglect.
He is accused of throwing rocks, a charge his family denies. Since his arrest, Muhammad has lost 12kg (26 lbs), developed severe scabies, widespread in Israeli prisons, and has had limited contact with his family. U.S. officials confirmed his condition and say they’ve been denied recent visits. A video shows him interrogated without a lawyer.
He is one of over 400 Palestinian children held in Israeli military prisons, where even U.S. citizenship, rights groups say, offers no protection. Muhammad is also the cousin of Sayfollah Musallet, a U.S.-Palestinian who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers 20 days ago.
