An autopsy has revealed that a Palestinian child who died in an Israeli prison last month likely starved to death. Seventeen-year-old Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad collapsed on March 22 in Israel’s notorious Megiddo Prison, where he’d been held without trial for six months for allegedly throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. An Israeli doctor who observed the autopsy said Ahmad had suffered severe muscle and fat loss; he also had scabies and showed signs of torture.
And yet no one will do anything meaningful to dissuade Israel from torturing children. No one with the power to at least.
