Eighteen students, from Beit Ommar town in Al-Khalil, were deprived from sitting for their final examinations, after being arrested by the IOF.
Quds Press news agency stated that Muhammad Awad, spokesman of Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Beit Ommar, said that IOF have arrested since the beginning of the year 2012 about 45 children under eighteen years old, including eighteen secondary students who were deprived from sitting their final exams and pursuing their education.
Awad stated that the students have been brutally and cruelly arrested, and that most of them have been harshly tortured during investigations by the Israeli intelligence officers.
The detainees' families also asserted that during their visits to their sons in the occupation's jails, they saw the clear signs of torture and beating on them and that their sons clearly suffered from a bad psychological state because of the detention conditions inside the Zionist jails.
The detainees' families called human rights organizations to file a formal complaint against the IOF's practices against their sons especially after arresting a number of them for months without trial.
