Webinar: Palestinian children in Israeli military detention

The Balfour Project's next free webinar entitled: Injustice to the defenceless: the plight of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention takes place on Tuesday 20th February at 3pm UK time. Speakers will be: Claire Nicholl, Tareq Shrourou, and Jude Lanchin.

Claire Nicholl is Save the Children's Regional Humanitarian Policy and Advocacy Lead for the Middle East. She has been working with the agency's team in the occupied Palestinian territory for many years, and is the author of several reports on the treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention. This work has been underpinned by her time spent with former detainees and other children and young people in the oPt, including supporting the Gaza children's council.

Tareq Shrourou is Director and Principal Lawyer of the UK legal charity, Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights. Before becoming LPHR's first director, he worked as a solicitor specialising in asylum and human rights law, and co-managed the public legal advice service of the UK human rights organisation, Liberty. He holds an LLM in Public International Law from King's College London.

Jude Lanchin qualified as a solicitor in 1994, after a career in community-based work. For a number of years, she worked with the young people on the North London Broadwater Farm Estate who were charged after the 1985 riot. She subsequently established and ran a community project in Islington for former prisoners.
