Palestinian political and civil society leader Khalida Jarrar, has been released after close to two years in Israeli prisons.
Israeli authorities released Jarrar, a left-wing figure and member of the now-defunct Palestinian Legislative Council, PLC, yesterday.
The Israeli army arrested Jarrar from her home in Ramallah on October 31, 2019, eight months after she was released following 20 months in administrative detention without trial or change.
In July, one of Jarrar’s two daughters, 31-year-old Suha, died in Ramallah after health complications, leading to mass calls for Israel to release the politician early to attend her daughter’s funeral, which Israel rejected.
