Early Thursday, some 60 Israeli forces raided the house of Khalida
Kan’an Muhammad Jarrar, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine (PFLP) and the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), in
the city of Ramallah and took her to an unknown location.
Media sources in Ramallah said Israeli forces kicked down the door of
Jarrar’s residence and held her husband in a separate room while
arresting the legislator.
Jarrar is one of the most outspoken critics of the Israeli occupation
and has repeatedly slammed the Tel Aviv regime’s atrocities against
Palestinians.
The Israeli regime has been denying the lawmaker the right to travel
outside the occupied Palestinian territories since 1988. She campaigned
for months in 2010 before receiving the permission to travel to Jordan
for medical treatment.
In August last year, Jarrar received a “special supervision order”
from the Israeli military, instructing her to leave Ramallah to the West
bank city of Jericho.
However, she set up a protest tent outside the Palestinian
Legislative Council in Ramallah, where she lived and worked, until the
controversial order was overturned later in September.
According to reports, 18 PLC members are currently imprisoned by
Israel, with 9 of them being held without trial under the so-called
administrative detention.
Administrative detention is a sort of imprisonment without trial or
charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six
months. The detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of
time.
