Syrian children mistreatment

TODAY the BBC has published a story focusing on Save the Children's charity findings about children in Syria.


They say that Children are being subjected to APPALLING torture, imprisonment and abduction, and the charity believes that this issue needs urgent attention.

The conflict in Syria has been going on for 18 months now with not much foreseeable hope of ceasing.

An extract from the article reads:

"One 15-year-old told the charity he had cigarettes put out on him when he was imprisoned in what used to be his school.


Another described being given electric shocks and sharing a cell with decomposing bodies, while a third teenager, Wael, said he had seen a six-year-old die after being tortured and starved."
