"Sentencing
88.Defence for Children International records that in 2009, in 83% of surveyed juvenile cases, the military court handed down custodial sentences. In comparison, 6.5% of surveyed juvenile cases in the Israeli civilian justice system ended is custodial sentences. In military court cases observed by No Legal Frontiers in 2010-11, 98% of cases surveyed ended in a custodial sentence, with suspended sentences in the remaining 2%. In 90% or more of cases surveyed by No Legal Frontiers a fine was also imposed. DCI and B’Tselem report that if parents fail to pay the fine, the child will serve additional days in prison.
89.The prescribed sentence for stone-throwing under Military Order 1651 is 10 years if directed at a person or property, and 20 years if directed at a vehicle. The maximum penalty which can be imposed on a 12 or 13-year-old is six months imprisonment. Defence for Children International reports that custodial sentences for children generally range from two weeks to 10 months for stone-throwing. B’Tselem reports that the median period for 14 to 16-year-olds is 2 ½ months and for 16 to 18-year-olds 4 months. The Israeli Government reported similarly that the average number of days in detention (where the imprisonment exceeded 21 days) was 181 in 2011 (approximately 6 months). B’Tselem also noted that of the 32 children in their sample aged 12 to 13, 31% were given a custodial sentence ranging from one to two months. The Israeli Government stated that imprisonment of children under the age of 14 is rare. We were unable to form our own view of this as data from this age group was not incorporated in the official Israeli statistics supplied to us. We were informed in our meeting with the Ministry of Justice that there had been a decrease in the detention of under-14s, with 25 cases in 2009, 14 in 2010 and 1 in 2011 to the date of meeting, who had been detained for 4 days. The military prosecutors made reference to the Attorney General’s Guidelines which apply in Israel and which give a guideline sentence of 3 to 4 months for a 16 yr old with no previous convictions."
