Some said they had been recruited to fight with ISIS, while others said that they worked as cooks, drivers, or simply participated in a few days of training,\u201d said Jo Becker Advocacy Director, Children&#8217;s Rights Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne 17-year-old said he believed he was arrested for working at a restaurant in Mosul that served ISIS members. A few said that they had no links to ISIS, other family members had. Regardless of the extent of their involvement, they were all charged with terrorism,\u201d she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker pointed out that the majority of the boys said their interrogators tortured them to secure confessions. They described beatings with plastic pipes, electric cables, or rods, sometimes for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNearly all said they eventually confessed to ISIS association, believing they had no other choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International law prohibits the recruitment or use of children by armed groups, yet Iraq is treating these children as criminals, even if there is no evidence they participated in violent crimes. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on Iraq&nbsp;to release the children, according to Becker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of detaining and prosecuting children suspected of ISIS affiliation, Iraq should work with the UN to set up reintegration programs so that these children can rejoin their communities, get back into school, and resume their lives, she concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reporting-and-editing-by-jwan-qaraman\"><strong>Reporting and editing by Jwan Qaraman<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instead of detaining and prosecuting children suspected of #ISIS affiliation, #Iraq should work with the @UN to set up reintegration programs, @HRW says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":72967,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[39,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-middle-east"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
