None
Thirty-five foreign children, some aged 3-10, are being kept at the Saharonim Prison for over 60 days, a report issued by the Migrant Workers Hotline indicates.
Data collected by the Hotline, which is marking 11 years to its inception, suggest that some 1,042 asylum seekers are imprisoned in Israel including children. According to the organization, their incarceration has cost the tax payer some NIS 60 million (roughly $16 million) over the last six years. (Yael Branovsky)
