There is no benefit to a child speaking to the media about this. It puts them in harms way (you've been given evidence already), even if we haven't seen physical violence towards them (yet). It is exploitative to have children interviewed like this.

Spaces for people to be people, to interact, exist, participate in the society we live in without pressure to perform, pay or live up to standards we set ourselves - or have set for us - are incredibly important. Informal interactions really help to congeal the social glue in my everyday life.

This march to Gaza is taking place now in Egypt; passports have been taken, some returned (to the wrong people); phones and laptops seized, some returned, some not. Egypt is not on the right side of this. They have employed local thugs to beat and terrorise peaceful marchers.
