Majdi was only 13 years old when he was detained for the first time by Israeli authorities and imprisoned in Israel's military detention system, which is notorious for widespread and systematic ill-treatment of children. In this episode, he walks us through his experience of detention, and tells us about life after his release. DCI-Palestine lawyer Iyad Misk, who represented Majdi, joins us for this episode as well. DCI-Palestine Advocacy Officer Manar Al-Amleh translates.
