Everyday apartheid: the youngest Palestinian to be jailed by Israel
14-year-old Palestinian Ayham Al-Salaymeh will become the youngest person ever to be imprisoned in Israel when he starts his 1-year sentence on 1 December 2024. Ayham has been under house arrest at his family home in the Ras Al-Amud neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem for the past 18 months. His crime? Throwing stones at Israeli settlers who illegally seized Palestinian homes in his area. His father and brothers have also faced jail for resisting illegal incursions by settlers.
