Over 180 organizations have joined together to call for the immediate release of\u00a0Khalida Jarrar,<\/a>\u00a0the imprisoned Palestinian feminist, leftist parliamentarian. Jarrar, a leading advocate for Palestinian prisoners\u2019 rights, has been jailed without charge or trial under Israeli administrative detention for nearly a year.<\/p>\n

The organizations who have expressed their support for Jarrar\u2019s freedom include political parties, feminist groups, Palestinian community and Palestine solidarity groups, Indigenous justice, prison abolition and prison justice organizations, human rights organizations, legal groups and more from over 20 countries.<\/p>\n

Jarrar has been jailed since 2 July 2017, when she was seized in a night raid on her home in El-Bireh by Israeli occupation forces. \u00a0On 14 June 2018, she was informed that her detention would be extended for another four months, a sentence that is scheduled to be confirmed in an Israeli military court on 2 July 2018.<\/p>\n

We are calling for days of action for the freedom of Khalida Jarrar between 30 June and 2 July. It is more important than ever that our voices are heard and our actions are visible. Protests are already being organized\u00a0<\/b>in New York<\/b><\/a>\u00a0and elsewhere around the world. You can download flyers, materials and visit petitions to join the campaign here:\u00a0<\/b>http:\/\/samidoun.net\/2018\/06\/take-action-to-free-khalida-jarrar-june-30-july-2-organize-for-freedom\/<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

You are invited to add your organization\u2019s name to the following statement to demand freedom for imprisoned Palestinian leader Khalida Jarrar! We will continue to update this statement and re-release with additional signatories. To endorse, please\u00a0<\/i><\/b>use the form<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0or email\u00a0<\/i><\/b>samidoun@samidoun.net<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0with your group\u2019s name.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Freedom for Khalida Jarrar! End administrative detention!<\/b><\/p>\n

We, the undersigned organizations, come together to demand freedom for Palestinian political leader Khalida Jarrar, prominent leftist, feminist, prisoners\u2019 rights advocate and member of the Palestinian Legislative Council. She has been imprisoned without charge and without trial since July 2017 \u2013 and now the Israeli military occupation has declared that her imprisonment will be extended for an additional four months.<\/p>\n

On July 2, 2017, Khalida Jarrar\u2019s home was raided by Israeli occupation soldiers in a pre-dawn raid. She was ordered shortly thereafter to administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. She is one of approximately 450 Palestinians held under administrative detention, a relic of the British colonial mandate that has been used by the Israeli occupation to jail thousands of Palestinian community and political leaders, and one of approximately 6,100 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.<\/p>\n

In December 2017, her detention was renewed for another six months. Now, another military order declares that she will be imprisoned for four more months. Administrative detention orders can be issued for up to six months at a time and are indefinitely renewable. Palestinians can spend years at a time jailed under these orders, never knowing when they could be released, if ever.<\/p>\n

As Addameer notes, \u201cThis practice of arbitrary detention is a grave violation of international laws and human rights standards, particularly articles 78 and 72 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which state that an accused individual has the right to defend him\/herself. This also violates Article 66 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and the basic standards of fair trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

On July 2, an Israeli military court is scheduled to approve the detention order. Jarrar, like all administrative detainees, has boycotted these hearings since February, as they are mere rubber-stamp sessions used as a fig leaf to \u201clegitimize\u201d the arbitrary imprisonment of Palestinians.<\/p>\n

Jarrar is a Palestinian political leader, representing the Abu Ali Mustafa Bloc, allied with the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in the Palestinian Legislative Council. She is a frequent leader and participant in demonstrations and popular actions for Palestinian freedom, a a long-time Palestinian political prisoners\u2019 advocate and former executive director of Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association and now a member of its board, and chair of the Prisoners\u2019 Committee of the Palestinian Legislative Council.<\/p>\n

She has also been active in the Palestinian women\u2019s movement since her earliest days as a university student organizing with other female students to challenge the occupation. She is a leading organizer of International Women\u2019s Day events in Palestine and coordinates closely with Palestinian women\u2019s organizations. \u201cPalestinian women are full partners in the Palestinian struggle,\u201d she emphasizes.<\/p>\n

Khalida Jarrar is heavily involved in the fight to hold Israeli officials accountable for war crimes in the International Criminal Court. She is a member of a Palestinian commission charged with bringing complaints and files before the international court about ongoing Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, from attacks on Gaza to land confiscation and settlement construction to mass arrests and imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Since 1998, she has been forbidden to travel outside occupied Palestine. When she needed medical treatment in Jordan in 2010, she struggled for months in a public campaign before finally receiving it. The Israeli occupation attempted to forcibly displace her from her home to Jericho in 2014, and in 2015, arrested and jailed her 14 months for her political activities.<\/p>\n

The extended administrative detention of Khalida Jarrar is an attempt to remove an effective, grassroots leader from the Palestinian national movement. Especially now, when people are taking to the streets throughout occupied Palestine and thousands are marching in Gaza for the Great Return March, leaders like her are targeted for arrest and imprisonment in an attempt to defuse the Palestinian struggle.<\/p>\n

Khalida Jarrar is being targeted as a Palestinian leader, a Palestinian voice for justice, and an active Palestinian woman. Her imprisonment is yet another attack by the Israeli colonial state against the Palestinian people struggling for freedom, and administrative detention and the mass imprisonment of Palestinians are two of the weapons used in an attempt to break the Palestinian liberation movement.<\/p>\n

We come together today to demand the immediate release of Khalida Jarrar, an end to the policy and practice of administrative detention and freedom for Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails. We pledge to struggle for justice through protests, actions, organizing and escalating boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) actions against Israel, in Khalida\u2019s own spirit of resistance.<\/b><\/p>\n
