Increasingly, children are being used as pawns and targeted by violence, killing, arrest and detention, as a matter of policy, in places like…

Syria –
Children killed, tortured, used as human shields by Bashar al-Assad forces

Syrian youth at risk

Bahrain –
A child arrested, held in custody for over a month and made to stand trial for “participating in an illegal gathering”. Bahrain Court Orders Monitoring for 11-Year-Old

The occupied Palestinian Territories –
An IDF soldier grabs a 9-year-old Palestinian child and holds him while another soldier comes up and kicks the child in the back before letting him go.

Every child a “potential terrorist”.
