В Виктории 12-летние дети отправляются в тюрьму: Amnesty International призывает изменить закон

Организация Amnesty International критикует австралийскую штат Виктория за арест и заключение детей в возрасте 12 лет, что противоречит стандартам ООН и стоит государству более 2,6 миллиона долларов ежегодно. Международная правозащитная группа призывает граждан написать письмо генеральному прокурору штата, требуя повысить возраст уголовной ответственности до 14 лет и заменить тюремное заключение на социальную поддержку.

Kids Need Better. Right now in Victoria, a 12-year-old can be arrested, charged, and locked up. Once inside, children are being subjected to practices that can amount to torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment – including solitary confinement and the use of force. The UN says the minimum age of criminal responsibility should be 14, with no exceptions. Victoria stops at 12, falling short of the human rights standards Australia has committed to. It’s not just harmful. It’s staggeringly expensive. Locking up a child in Victoria costs more than $2.6 million a year – money that could instead go toward the kind of community-based, culturally appropriate support that actually keeps kids safe and out of the justice system. Across Victoria, people are already writing directly to the Attorney-General to demand real action. Now it’s your turn to add your voice. It takes less than a minute to send your own email — and every one that lands on the Attorney-General’s desk makes this harder to ignore. Take action now.
