The charges are listed as “participating in anti-government protests, attending the funeral of his brother Ali Qureiris who was killed in a protest in 2011, joining a ‘terrorist organisation,’ throwing Molotov cocktails at a police station, and firing at security forces,” says Amnesty in a press release dated June 7.that the boy was subjected to “coercion and deception” by the interrogators and “tortured and beaten” in solitary confinement.
Observation homes in Saudi Arabia, ESOHR says,”are not considered a safe place for children because torture and cruel and degrading treatment are practiced there, as well as allegations of employees committing sexual crimes against the children.” “The Saudi Arabian authorities have a chilling track record of using the death penalty as a weapon to crush political dissent and punish anti-government protesters - including children - from the country’s persecuted Shia minority,” Amnesty International’s Middle East Research Director Lynn Maalouf has said in a statement.
