The Family and Child Prosecution Chief announced in a statement placing six children in one of the social care institutions that belong to the Ministery of Labour and Social Development after they were captured in connection with attacking stationed police patrols with Molotov cocktail bombs in Sitra.

The incident caused unspecified damage to a civilian car that was parked in the area during the assault.

“Within the framework of the Public Prosecution’s keenness to implement the provisions of the Children’s Restorative Justice Law and the effectiveness of its provisions, the Family and Child Prosecution Chief stated that the Public Prosecution had received a report from the Security Department that six children under the age of fifteen threw Molotov cocktails at the patrols stationed to guard the Sitra Police Station. As a result, a civilian car that happened to stop at the place was damaged, while it was established that the children carried out similar assaults,” the statement read.
The children testified as they were designated as being exposed to one of the dangerous situations stipulated in the Children’s Restorative Justice Law and to protect them from ill-treatment for committing the crime of manufacturing, using flammable devices, crowding and rioting.
