"More than 300 Palestinian teens are routinely subjected to physical and psychological abuse in Israeli prisons now, two human rights groups charged Monday.

The Israel Defense Forces denied the allegations.

The Geneva-based Defense for Children International and Save the Children, headquartered in Sweden, said that as of May 2004, 373 Palestinians under 18 were being held in Israeli detention centers and prisons. At least three of the detainees are under 14, they said.

The groups charged that the treatment of Palestinian child prisoners by Israeli authorities amounts to a pattern of violence that has gone unchecked for years.

"The children are physically and mentally abused, and they are deprived of their family and an education," said Tov Myhrman, a program adviser based in Jerusalem for Save the Children-Sweden."
