"Following her abduction by the IOF from her home two weeks ago in #Ramallah, the zionist courts issued PFLP leader Khalida Jarrar an administrative detention order, without charge or trial.
Khalida, 60 years old, has been imprisoned at least four times on baseless charges, most recently in 2016 and 2021. She was freed in September of 2021 after two years of administrative detention without charge or trial. Just two months before her release, the zionist entity denied her a temporary release to attend the funeral of her 31-year-old daughter, activist Suha Jarrar. Additionally, Khalida lost her father while she was imprisoned in 2021.
Khalida, a lifelong activist, intellectual, and leader, has stood defiantly in support of the prisoners' struggle. She has held many civil society positions, elected as a deputy in the Legislative Council in 2006, where she was responsible for the prisoners' file. Before her abudction, she was working as a researcher on Palestinian female prisoners at Birzeit University."

Today, December 23, the Zionist regime announced the extension of Khalida Jarrar's solitary confinement until January 22, 2025.
Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian human rights activist, feminist, leftist and former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was abducted by the occupation forces on December 26, 2023 and ordered to administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. Since August 12, she has been isolated in inhumane conditions, separated from her fellow Palestinian women prisoners and completely cut off from the world.
For 133 days, Khalida Jarrar has been held in solitary confinement in a very small cell, measuring just 2 by 1.5 meters, where the only available space is occupied by a mattress. The cell also contains a tiny toilet. It is completely enclosed, with no windows for ventilation or fresh air.
In a letter passed on to her lawyer she testified:
“I die every day. The cell is like a small closed box where no air enters. There is only a toilet in the cell with a small window above it, which was later sealed just on day after my transfer. They left me no space to breathe, and even what is called the “ashnav” (peephole) on the cell door was sealed. There is only a small opening where i sit most of the time to breathe. I am suffocating in my cell, waiting for the hours to pass, hoping to find some oxygen particles to breathe and stay alive.”
Khalida Jarrar was imprisoned as punishment for her academic and research work. Shortly before her arrest, she had published a research paper on the conditions of detention in Zionist prisons after October 7, and was due to attend an international colloquium. Her imprisonment is an attack on Palestinian academia and the universal right to education.
This solitary confinement is a deliberate attack on Khalida Jarrar's life and an attack on all Palestinian prisoners. Khalida Jarrar is being targeted because of the model of resistance and fighting spirit she represents for her fellow prisoners. The Zionist regime believes that by distancing resistance leaders from their people, it will succeed in annihilating the resistance.
But the entire people embody the heroic and tireless resistance of the Palestinian people, as shown by Gaza, the steadfast, despite more than a year of genocide.

Free Khalida Jarrar! The feminist, leftist, and Palestinian scholar was seized from her home in El-Bireh, occupied Palestine, in the morning hours of 26 December 2023 as part of mass arrests by Zionist forces in the West Bank of occupied Palestine during the genocide in Gaza.
Jarrar is a historical leftist leader with the PFLP and is currently a scholar and researcher at the Muwatin Institute at Birzeit University. In fact, she was scheduled to appear on 27 December at a panel convened by Jadaliyya on imprisonment in the time of genocide.
She is a lifelong advocate for the liberation of political prisoners and was targeted specifically for her statements and advocacy for the liberation of Palestinian prisoners.Jarrar has been imprisoned on multiple occasions by the occupation regime, including in 2015, when her administrative detention without charge or trial drew global protests before she was then transferred to the occupation military courts.
In 2019, she was once again seized by the occupation regime. While she was imprisoned, her daughter Suha tragically passed away. She was denied the right to see Suha's body and attend her funeral before she was released again in 2021.
During both of her times of imprisonment, she established independent educational programs to teach the imprisoned minor girls the high school education they were denied as well as the adult women prisoners their rights under international law.
She discusses her imprisonment in the book by RamzyBaroud and Ilan Pappe, "Our vision for liberation;" her piece is published at the PalestineChronicle:

“Why was the international community letting Israel get away with it? Khalida* explained to us that while it was very important for us to use international law and international humanitarian law as a mechanism to advance our cause for self-determination and equality, we had to understand that our fate ultimately depended on politics. Many politicans around the world were willing to sacrifice the rights of people and turn a blind eye to violations, especially when it came to Israel’s occupation. She reminded us that international law had been created by colonial powers and was disproportionately applied to serve their interests…I now understood…how countries like the United States shielded Israel from any sort of punitive measures.” — Ahed Tamimi and Dena Takruri, They Called Me A Lioness
*Khalida Jarrar (famous Palestinian feminist) is another fellow inmate of Tamimi’s who decided to teach the imprisoned children high school and law courses herself when the Israelis failed to provide an actual teacher and continuously threatened her for doing so. She was helped by her cellmate Yasmeen Shaaban who served as the cell block representative and they both fought for the children and prisoner’s rights while being imprisoned and constantly threatened

🇵🇸🇮🇱 🚨 ISRAELI OCCUPATION ARRESTS PREVIOUSLY LIBERATED PFLP LEADER KHALIDA JARRAR
The Israeli Occupation authorities arrested the previously liberated leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Khalida Jarrar, along with journalist Hamad Taqatqa, from her home in the occupied West Bank city of al-Bireh, near Ramallah.
Jarrar is the prominent leader of the Marxist-Leninist Palestinian Liberation group, PFLP, which is the second largest faction within the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), and was previously elected as a member of the former Palestinian Legislative Council.
Israeli Occupation authorities previously released Jarrar in September 2021 after being detained by the Zionist regime for two years under charges of belonging to a Palestinian Liberation movement, with PFLP being determined to be a "terrorist organization" by the Israeli entity.
The IOF also detained the previously liberated detainees Ihsan Shtayyeh in Ramallah and Rashad Karaja, head of the Safa Village Council, after their homes were raided.
The IOF also kidnapped the Palestinian journalist Hamad Taqatqa from his home in Beit Fajjar, south of Beit Lahm.

Dear Palestine,
It's important for those able at this time to be dispassionate, to start legislating. Why? So as to not give Israelis an "out", by really inhabiting the public legal sphere and make it a labyrinth that they will lose themselves into while trying to withdraw and try to wash their hands of what they have done.
After the ICJ ruling, I posted here 8 starting points. The important thing is to outlaw Israeli presence on Palestinian soil. But also, there needs to be a price, a liability, for every national cultural treasure, every farm and future losses of revenue, and of course every home - that Israelis destroyed and will have to pay for. Otherwise, the financial aid you'll receive will be international loans that will enslave you.
Palestinian Law benefits from a body of precedents all the way from Roman Law, Ottoman Law to modern day. Use it. Gather your scholars, historians and lawyers and rise. Even prepare to sue the UK for historical reparations.
Throw the book.

During her arrest, Ayesh was subjected to assault, threats, and insults by Israeli soldiers, according to the Addameer human rights organisation. She was transferred to Israel’s Hasharon Prison before being later taken to Damon Prison, where she is now being held.
Ayesh’s work as a human rights defender rose to the fore during her time at the Ramallah-based Lawyers for Justice, representing Palestinian political detainees in PA prisons. In July, she attended a session on behalf of the group at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
Tala Nasser, from the Addameer prisoners’ rights group, explained that Ayesh’s arrest comes amid a “violent mass arrest campaign” carried out by Israel since October 7.
The fact that the vast majority of the more than 6,900 Palestinians arrested in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7 have been transferred to administrative detention highlights the arbitrariness of Israel’s arrests, she said.
“This campaign includes activists, human rights defenders and political leaders,” Nassar told Al Jazeera, noting that it is “an attempt to silence them and prevent the exposure of the occupation’s crimes across the whole country”.
In December, Israeli forces also arrested political and civil society leader Khalida Jarrar, who was similarly transferred to administrative detention.
Despite releasing all but three Palestinian female detainees during the latest prisoner exchange with Hamas at the end of 2023, the Israeli army rearrested dozens. Some 80 female prisoners are being held today, all of whom are in the Damon Prison.
Among the 80 are dozens of women from the besieged Gaza Strip, but lawyers are forbidden from visiting them or knowing anything about them.
Several reports have emerged of female detainees from Gaza being physically beaten and abused, including an unknown number of them being held at Israeli military bases and not in prison.
Lawyers say conditions for all Palestinian detainees, including women, are unprecedentedly difficult. Eight Palestinian male prisoners have also died or were killed in Israeli custody since October 7, most of them in the days and weeks after their arrest.
Over the past few months, many videos have emerged of Israeli soldiers stripping, torturing and abusing male prisoners from both the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
“It is important to note that every female that is arrested is violated in one way or another,” said Nasser. “They are all facing threats, intensive strip searches, verbal assault and physical violence.”

What is the role of female prisoners in the prisoners' movement, or in resistance from inside prison?
Female prisoners are part of the prisoners' movement. [Male] prisoners would look at the female prisoners [and say], “No, we're scared for them, they don't need to take part in any escalatory collective action.” But that was also part of the feminist struggle: to declare that no, we, the female prisoners, are also a part of the prisoners' movement, and we can't be excluded or exceptionalized. This was an ongoing discussion, because the female prisoners wanted to practice their right to be part of the leadership of this movement. It is also a question of nidal (struggle) between a patriarchal mindset that looks towards the female prisoners a certain way—from their point of view it was a form of empathy towards women—but my point of view, women represent something different. We are also a part of this struggle, and so we are allowed to choose too, we don't want people to decide for us.

Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian human rights activist, feminist, leftist and former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, detained since December 26, has been held in solitary confinement in very harsh conditions for 100 days now, since August 12, in Neve Tirza prison. She is detained in a cell measuring only 2 meters by 1.5 meters, where the only available space is occupied by a mattress. The cell is completely closed, with no windows for ventilation or fresh air.
For 100 days, she feels a lack of oxygen and the inability to breathe, and it is still very hot in the cell during the day. She has requested at least paper and a pen to write, to stay aware and keep track of time, but none of these have been provided. Her isolation, like that of Marwan Barghouti, Abdallah Barghouti and other leaders of the prisoners' movement, is an attempt by the occupying forces to break the resistance of Palestinian prisoners in a decisive phase of the national liberation struggle.
Like her detention itself — she is jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention, alongside nearly 3500 of the 10,200 Palestinians imprisoned by the occupation regime — no reason or excuse has been proffered by the occupation authorities to justify her ongoing isolation. Her solitary confinement is just one illustration of the occupation's torture and aggression against Palestinian prisoners. We must mobilize to break the isolation that the occupation forces are trying to impose in the colonial prisons, in support of the Palestinian resistance and call for the immediate release of all Palestinian prisoners!

Handala Center for Prisoners and Liberated Prisoners:
Activist Khalida Jarrar faces a life-threatening campaign of systematic repression and abuse in solitary confinement.
[previous update]
For more than 93 days, the Palestinian fighter and prominent leader in the Popular Front, Khalida Jarrar, Umm Yafa, has been subjected to a systematic campaign of repression and abuse that threatens her life in the cells of the zionist occupation. She is facing harsh conditions in solitary confinement, and despite all this, she remains steadfast in confronting the policy of slow death.
Umm Yafa, who is considered one of the most prominent symbols of Palestinian resistance, lives in a small, poorly ventilated room lacking the most basic necessities of life, such as water and light, to the point that her detention room has become like a tomb.
According to her lawyer, the fighter Jarrar has no choice but to lie next to the door to breathe the smallest amount of oxygen, in a tragic scene that reflects the brutality that Palestinian prisoners face.
The fighter Khalida Jarrar, who is 61 years old, is not an ordinary prisoner. She has endured a painful arrest experience that began in 2015, during which she was arrested four times before her most recent arrest in December 2023, her fifth. Throughout these years, the fighter has spent more than six years in the occupation prisons. During this time, she has carried a never-ending suffering, losing her mother in 2015, her father in 2018, and her daughter in 2021. The occupation did not even allow her to bid them farewell, in a clear war crime that represents a gross violation of human rights and international law.
Today, after 11 months since her most recent arrest, Umm Yafa is still being subjected to ongoing and failed attempts by the zionist prison administration to break her will. However, she remains steadfast, holding on to her national principles and her heroic resistance.
These desperate attempts by the occupation to target the morale of the prisoners will not succeed in breaking her resolve. Instead, they confirm her adherence to her people’s cause.
What fighter Khalida Jarrar is experiencing is part of a comprehensive campaign of abuse targeting Palestinian prisoners, particularly female prisoners, who face similar conditions in the occupation prisons. These repressive policies, led by the war criminal Ben Gvir, are failed attempts to subjugate the Palestinian people. However, the will of the Palestinian resistance and its living leadership will remain stronger than these brutal practices.
The Handala Center for Prisoners and Liberated Prisoners calls on the international community and humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to save the life of fighter Khalida Jarrar and all prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, and to work to stop the repeated violations against them.
The Center also calls on the masses of our people to escalate solidarity efforts with the prisoners on all levels and urges the free people of the world to organize global solidarity campaigns with Palestinian prisoners, especially with fighter Khalida Jarrar, and to continue the ongoing pressure on the occupation to stop these continuous violations and protect the rights of the prisoners.

In the cells of the occupation, where prisoners are trapped in "gas chambers," as described by the martyred prisoner Walid Daqqa, nothing escapes the grip of the occupiers and their jailers. Even the air is restricted, with ventilation almost nonexistent, leaving prisoners drowning in a suffocating silence that paralyzes all meanings of life.
This is the reality for prisoner Khalida Jarrar for over 100 days now, as she endures solitary confinement in Ramleh Prison under unbearable conditions. Khalida Jarrar has been arrested by the occupation multiple times without clear charges, suffering greatly each time. Today, she is confined to a tiny cell no larger than a meter in size, deprived of her most basic human rights. To worsen her ordeal, the prison administration deliberately provides her with extremely poor-quality food in very small portions, disregarding her health condition that requires a special diet. Despite her urgent need for prescription glasses, they have yet to be provided. She has also been denied access to books in her cell.
A week ago, the Ramleh Prison administration abruptly changed the lighting system, keeping the lights off during the day and on throughout the night. This has further increased her psychological and physical distress, depriving her even of sleep.
Despite all these attempts to break her spirit, Khalida remains, as always, a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of the harshest conditions. It is our duty to raise our voices against the suffering of Khalida Jarrar and Palestinian female prisoners. Their suffering places a genuine ethical responsibility on all of us. Human rights are not mere slogans; they must be translated into serious actions to save them from oppression and injustice as soon as possible.

There are daily invasions by the Israeli army into Palestinian towns. There are daily mass arrests. Daily, we wake up to news of Israel killing people. Besides that, the West Bank is full of checkpoints and we’re witnessing the Israeli army assassinating more and more people at the checkpoints. They have invaded Jericho many times recently, especially after their raid on the nearby Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, where soldiers demolished many houses and assassinated five people. If Israel thinks these people did anything wrong it could have arrested them, like normal. Instead, it is aiming to kill. Shooting people has become very easy now for the Israeli army.
