DESCRIPTION:ROOM NUMBER 4: Israeli Arrests of Palestinian children - Silwan, East 
 Jerusalem\n\nSahar Abbasi Baidon is Deputy Director of Madaa Silwan 
 Creative Center in Silwan, East Jerusalem, where she works with children 
 who have been arrested by the Israeli army. She also runs the women's 
 program and is the mother of four.\nRoom Number 4 is the name of the 
 Israeli interrogation room at the Russian Compound Detention Center in 
 Jerusalem.\n\nSahar will speak and show a stunning photo exhibit about the 
 violations of Palestinian children's rights, accompanied by the children's 
 written testimonies:\n\n"They left me in the room for 5 hours with my hands 
 tied behind my back and legs tied to each other. When I refused to confess, 
 they slapped me and tightened my hand ties even more." - 15-year-old 
 prisoner\n\nChildren and families in Silwan face constant violence-both 
 physical and psychological. Armed settlers are taking over Palestinian 
 homes and land; these settlers often harass and viciously attack 
 Palestinians on the street. Meanwhile bulldozers carry out "administrative 
 demolitions" which leave many homeless and threaten thousands more. And 
 hundreds of people each year-including children as young as six and many, 
 many teenagers-are arrested, beaten, and tortured by Israeli 
 police.\n\nBenefit for the Madaa Silwan Creative Center, to raise funds for 
 a staff psychologist to support the children and their families after the 
 trauma of arrests, home demolitions and violence.\n\nThis event is a 
 collaboration between Middle East Children's Alliance & Art 
 Forces\nCosponsored by Arab Resource & Organizing Center, Friends of Sabeel 
 North America,  and Jewish Voice for Peace/Bay Area.\n\nFor info:
