Thirteen-year-old Muhammad Shadi Sa'adi was leaving a friend’s funeral when undercover police kidnapped, blindfolded, beat him, then threw him in prison.
Right now 85 Palestinian children and youth, just like Muhammad, are being held for crimes they didn't commit.
It’s all part of a deliberate Israeli campaign to terrorize Palestinian families. These children’s parents know the only way to bring their children home is to hire legal counsel to fight these bogus charges in court, but they don't have the funds to cover the costs. So they've asked for our help.
If enough of us chip in, we can work alongside Palestinian youth organization Baladna to urgently hire lawyers to free kids like Muhammad who’ve been locked up. Can you donate just a small amount to help set these kids free, and continue the fight for justice for Palestine?
