A children’s rights group reported that Muin Ghassan Fahed Salahat, a 14-year-old Palestinian, has been placed under administrative detention by Israeli forces, marking him as the youngest such detainee on record. Abducted from his home in Beit Fajjar, Muin was taken without charges or a trial, a practice criticized for violating due process rights. Israeli soldiers entered the family home at night, detained both Muin and his father while ransacking their belongings. The situation highlights ongoing issues regarding the detention of Palestinian children and the use of secret evidence.
The youngest Palestinian child on record to be held under an administrative detention order by Israeli forces, Muin Ghassan Fahed Salahat, is just 14 years old.
Israeli forces are now expanding the use of administrative detention to include Palestinian children, often using 'secret' evidence without trial, in violation of fundamental due process rights.
