Children tried as adults in the Middle East

VIDEO: Children tried as adults in the Middle East
TV3 News, New Zealand - 27 Apr 2007
Young Palestinian stone-throwers in the Middle East are treated as adults, tried in military courts and held in adult jails – some of them as young as 12.

Israel's treatment of these children is a violation of international law, something Israeli authorities do not even deny themselves.

Their trials are rarely seen, but an ITV reporter was given exclusive access to one court's proceedings.
