All three children were accused of throwing stones and\/or Molotov cocktails. During their detention at Beit Hamoshail (an Israeli military camp), Huwwara Interrogation and Detention Centre (south of Nablus) and Ari&#8217;el police station respectively, they were subjected to torture and ill-treatment, including solitary confinement, repeated beatings and being used as a human shield by ISF during confrontations with stone throwing youth. An Israeli soldier allegedly also extinguished a cigarette on the lips of one of the children. Furthermore, lawyers were not present during the interrogation of the children and none of them were informed of their rights. X was released after 21 days in Ofer military prison.
