CRC/C/SAU/CO/3-4 children arrested. The State party should also remove, as a matter of priority, all content that is derogatory of religious minorities from textbooks. E. Violence against children (arts. 19, 24 (3), 28 (2), 34, 37 (a) and 39) Torture and ill-treatment 26. The Committee expresses serious concern that, in spite of Royal Decree No. M/2 prohibiting torture or degrading treatment in any place, some legislation of the State party still authorizes the imposition of ill-treatment and torture on children in conflict with the law or in conflict with religious prescriptions. The Committee is also concerned that interrogation techniques amounting to torture are still authorized in the State party and reportedly frequently used to coerce juveniles into signing confessions. The Committee is further concerned that children can still be sentenced to life imprisonment and to solitary confinement and may attend public executions. 27. The Committee urges the State party, as a matter of utmost priority, to: (a) Repeal all legislative provisions that authorize the stoning, amputation and flogging of children, notably those contained in the Juvenile Justice Act of 1975, and ensure that no such treatment can be applied at the discretion of judges; (b) Ensure the thorough investigation of alleged cases of torture and illtreatment of children who were sentenced to death after reportedly having confessed under duress, immediately release those children and prosecute the perpetrators of such acts; (c) Unambiguously prohibit the imposition of solitary confinement and life sentences on children and the attendance of children at public executions. Corporal punishment 28. In view of the fact that corporal punishment remains lawful in all settings in spite of the adoption of the Child Protection Act of 2014, the Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party prohibit all forms of corporal punishment in all settings, including the family (see CRC/C/SAU/CO/2, para. 45). The Committee recommends that the State party introduce sustained public education, awarenessraising and social mobilization programmes involving children, families, communities and religious leaders on the physically and psychologically harmful effects of corporal punishment with a view to changing the general attitude towards this practice and promoting positive, non-violent and participatory forms of child-rearing and discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment. Abuse and neglect 29. Given the high proportion of child victims of domestic violence, the major obstacles faced by women and girls in terms of filing complaints, accessing effective support by the police and testifying before the courts, the Committee urges the State party to: (a) Accord a higher priority to eliminating domestic violence by addressing its root causes, in particular the inferior status of women and girls in the State party, and taking concrete measures to change attitudes, traditions, customs and behavioural practices that often serve as a justification for domestic violence, especially against girls; 7
