Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian national leader, leftist parliamentarian, feminist and advocate for Palestinian political prisoners, was issued a six-month administrative detention order on Wednesday, 12 July 2017. The order was signed by the Israeli occupation military commander over the West Bank.

Jarrar was seized by Israeli occupation forces who invaded her home in a pre-dawn raid on Sunday, 2 July, along with multiple other Palestinians subjected to early-morning raids including Khitam Saafin, president of the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees. Jarrar is a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, head of its Prisoners Committee and Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of Addameer.

The order comes three days after Saafin was also ordered to three months in administrative detention without charge or trial. Administrative detention orders are issued for one to six months at a time, but they are indefinitely renewable; Palestinians have been jailed for years under administrative detention.

Stand with Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin and demand that Israel release them and all 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners, and that Hewlett Packard companies end their contracts with Israeli prisons and detention centers, occupation and security forces, and checkpoints and settlements.

Help build a growing international campaign to boycott HP over the companies’ support for Israeli crimes.

Support the Palestinian people, the Palestinian prisoners, the Palestinian Resistance, and the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea

14 July, London: Emergency Vigil to demand freedom for Khalida Jarrar and imprisoned Palestinian MPs

14th JULY 2017 – EMERGENCY VIGIL TO DEMAND FREEDOM FOR KHALIDA JARRAR AND ALL IMPRISONED PALESTINIAN MPs

DATE: Friday 14th July 2017, 3-5pm
LOCATION: Westminster Bridge near the Houses of Parliament (Westminster tube)
WEB: http://inminds.com/article.php?id=10762
FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/events/276915056116705/

Organized by www.inminds.com

On Friday 14th July 2017, Inminds human rights group will hold an emergency vigil in London, on Westminster Bridge facing the Houses of Parliament, to demand freedom for Palestinian MP Khalida Jarrar and the other 10 members of the Palestinian parliament that are currently imprisoned by the Israeli occupation.

Palestinian mother of two daughters, Khalida Jarrar has dedicated her life to defending Palestinian political prisoners in occupation dungeons. She chairs the Prisoners’ Committee of the Parliament and is former executive director of Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association and a member of its board.

Khalida Jarrar was given a six month administrative detention order today (12th July 2017) following her abduction by soldiers on 2nd July. Under administrative detention Palestinians are indefinitely caged without charge or trial. Nine of the eleven imprisoned Palestinian MPs are being held without any charge. This practice of arbitrary detention without charge or trial, often as a punitive measure, is a violation of articles 78 and 72 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which state that an accused individual has the right to defend himself.

Inminds chair Abbas Ali said “Since the occupations defeat in the 2006 Palestinian elections, Israel has targetted elected members of the Palestinian parliament as a means to undermine Palestinian democracy. They are simply rounded up and caged without any charge, or trial, or even set length of sentence. Within 3 yearsof the election nearly a third of the Palestinian parliament was imprisoned. Now we are again seeing a rise in the targeting of Palestinian MPs with Khalida Jarrar’s abduction. We stand outside the British parliament in solidarity with Khalida Jarrar, to demand her immediate release, and the release of all members of the Palestinian parliament.”

If you support this activity please share this alert widely, thank you.

JazakAllah,

Israeli military orders Palestinian leader Khalida Jarrar imprisoned for six months without charge or trial

Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian national leader, leftist parliamentarian, feminist and advocate for Palestinian political prisoners, was issued a six-month administrative detention order on Wednesday, 12 July 2017. The order was signed by the Israeli occupation military commander over the West Bank, and it is scheduled to be confirmed at a hearing at the Ofer military court on 17 July 2017, reported Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.

Jarrar was seized by Israeli occupation forces who invaded her home in a pre-dawn raid on Sunday, 2 July, along with multiple other Palestinians subjected to early-morning raids including Khitam Saafin, president of the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees. Jarrar is a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, head of its Prisoners Committee and Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of Addameer.

The order came after Israeli military prosecutors did not have enough evidence even to make out a military court indictment on Monday 10 July; Jarrar’s detention was extended for 48 hours to give the military time to issue this order for administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial on the basis of so-called “secret evidence.”

It comes three days after Saafin was also ordered to three months in administrative detention without charge or trial. Administrative detention orders are issued for one to six months at a time, but they are indefinitely renewable; Palestinians have been jailed for years under administrative detention.

Jarrar is one of 11 Palestinian parliamentarians imprisoned by the Israeli occupation; nine of them, including Jarrar, are under administrative detention orders. There are nearly 500 Palestinians imprisoned without charge or trial among around 6,200 total Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails. Israel’s widespread and systematic use of administrative detention violates the Geneva Conventions and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Khalida Jarrar has been subject to repeated attacks by Israeli occupation forces, including the attempt to forcibly displace her to Jericho from her Ramallah home in 2014, followed by her arrest and imprisonment in 2015. She was also ordered to six months in administrative detention then; however, following an international outcry, the administrative detention order against her was cancelled and she was instead ordered to the no less unjust Israeli military courts, sentenced on political charges and jailed until June 2016.

There is a growing international campaign demanding the release of Khalida Jarrar, Khitam Saafin and their fellow Palestinian prisoners. Political parties, organizations and movements from around the world are joining the call for their release and protests are being organized in a number of international cities.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network condemns the administrative detention of Khalida Jarrar in the strongest possible terms. The attack on Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin is an attempt to suppress, silence and intimidate Palestinian progressive women leaders who stand up for Palestinians’ full rights and their social and national liberation, especially at a time when those rights are under intense attack . Now, more than ever, it is critical to build the campaign in support of Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin and demand their freedom. Two years ago, international pressure saw Khalida Jarrar’s administrative detention cancelled. This time, we must struggle to cancel their administrative detention orders and see them immediately released from Israeli occupation prisons.

**

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges international mobilization and action to demand the immediate release of Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin, prominent Palestinian progressive and feminist leaders and strugglers committed to the freedom and liberation of their people. The arrests of Jarrar and Saafin clearly come as an attempt by the Israeli occupation to attack Palestinian popular movements and suppress them through fear, arrests and intimidation carried out by a massively armed occupation force.

We urge all friends of Palestine and the Palestinian people to join us in reactivating the Khalida Jarrar Solidarity Campaign as well as the campaign in solidarity with Khitam Saafin. These arrests represent an attack on the leaders, the political activity and the popular organizing of the Palestinian people. They must be met with intensified solidarity to demand the freedom of Khalida Jarrar, Khitam Saafin and all of the thousands of Palestinian prisoners behind bars in Israeli occupation prisons.

Take Action to support Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin:

1. Sign the petition! Sign and share this petition, demanding freedom for Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin immediately.

2. Contact your Member of Parliament, Representative, or Member of European Parliament. The attack on Khalida is an attack on Palestinian parliamentary legitimacy and political expression. The arrest of Khitam is an assault on the Palestinian women’s movement. Parliamentarians have a responsibility to pressure Israel to cancel this order.

3. Use the Campaign Resources to inform your community, parliamentarians and others about Khalida and Khitam’s case.

4. Protest at the Israeli consulate or embassy for Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin. Bring posters and flyers about Khalida and Khitam’s case and hold a protest, or join a protest with this important information. Hold a community event or discussion, or include Khalida and Khitam’s case in your next event about Palestine and social justice.

5. Boycott, Divest and Sanction. Hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law. Don’t buy Israeli goods, and campaign to end investments in corporations that profit from the occupation. Learn more at bdsmovement.net.

Khalida Jarrar’s detention extended for 48 hours, threatened with administrative detention

Palestinian national leader, leftist parliamentarian and feminist Khalida Jarrar was brought before the Ofer military court on Monday, 10 July. Jarrar, also a noted advocate for Palestinian prisoners and the vice-chair of Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, was ordered detained for 48 more hours while the Israeli military prosecution determines whether to bring an indictment or an order for administrative detention without charge or trial.

Jarrar was seized by Israeli occupation forces on Sunday, 2 July in a pre-dawn raid targeting her family home. She was arrested simultaneously with another raid targeting Khitam Saafin, the president of the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees. At least nine other Palestinians were seized on the same night by Israeli occupation forces.

Jarrar was last seized by Israeli occupation forces in April 2015 and jailed until her release in June 2016; she was held in administrative detention until international pressure forced her case to be moved to the no less unjust Israeli military courts.

Saafin was ordered yesterday to three months in administrative detention. She joins nearly 500 other Palestinians jailed without charge or trial, among 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails. Administrative detention orders are indefinitely renewable; Palestinians have spent years detained in Israeli prisons without charge or trial.

Suha Jarrar, Khalida’s daughter, shared her experience at the Ofer military court:

There is a growing international campaign demanding the release of Khalida Jarrar, Khitam Saafin and their fellow Palestinian prisoners. Political parties, organizations and movements from around the world are joining the call for their release and protests are being organized in a number of international cities.

European parliamentarians demand freedom for Khalida Jarrar, Khitam Saafin, Palestinian prisoners

On 5 July in Strasbourg, Members of European Parliament and Spanish parliamentarians of Izquierda Unida (the United Left and the Communist Party of Spain) came together to stand in solidarity with Khalida Jarrar and Khitam Saafin and other imprisoned Palestinians. MEPs from a number of countries in the GUE/NGL (European United Left/Nordic Green Left) participated in the solidarity action.

They also expressed their solidarity with Cuba against intensified recent US attacks, demanding an end to the US blockade on Cuba and that the US get out of Guantanamo, the military base on occupied Cuban land where the US has operated a notorious secretive prison camp for nearly 16 years.

The solidarity action in Strasbourg came as the parliament’s Delegation for Relations with Palestine (DPAL) was targeted for attacks by the Israeli state and the pro-Israel, Zionist lobby in Europe, for inviting Palestinian advocates and family members of political prisoners to address a meeting in Strasbourg on 6 July. Despite the attempts to force a cancellation of the hearing, Palestinian lawyer Fadwa Barghouthi, the wife of Marwan Barghouthi and chair of the Campaign to Free Marwan Barghouthi, and Sumoud Sa’adat, of Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association and the daughter of Ahmad Sa’adat, addressed the parliamentary session.

Neoklis Sylikiotis, Chair of DPAL and a Member of European Parliment from Cyprus affiliated with AKEL, participated in the solidarity stand for Jarrar and Saafin. He issued a strongly worded statement condemning the attempts to silence the voices of Palestinian prisoners and their families. “Equating the voice of family members with a ‘voice for terror’ is insulting and defamatory to these persons fighting for the basic rights of their imprisoned relatives,” Sylikiotis said. “Such a spurious accusation flies in the face of the fact that it is Israel that is breaking international law and completely disrespecting human rights.”

The attacks on the session underlined the importance which is being given internationally to suppressing support for the Palestinian prisoners by Zionist organizations and the Israeli state as international solidarity grows with the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli jails.

Member of European Parliament Angela Vallina of Izquierda Unida issued a statement condemning the detention on Sunday, 2 July of Jarrar and Saafin, two of the most prominent Palestinian women leaders. Jarrar is a national leader, a parliamentarian and a leftist, feminist advocate for Palestinian political prisoners. She is the Vice-Chair of the Board and former Executive Director of Addameer. Khitam Saafin is the president of the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees and chair of the Global Women’s March (MMF/MMM) Palestine.

Vallina called on EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini and the EU’s member states to put a stop to the preferential agreement – the EU/Israel Association Agreement – amid these new violations. “Once again, the occupying forces of the State of Israel have conducted an operation to arrest Palestinian activists and parliamentarians. This time they arrested Khalida Jarrar, leader of the Palestinian parliamentary Prisoners’ Commission, and the leading representative of the women’s movement, Khitam Saafin. This follows shortly on the first anniversary of the release of the former, who was previously arrested in 2015. It is a new and illegitimate provocation by a state that is a preferred partner of the EU, something unacceptable,” said Vallina.

Vallina met Jarrar during two visits to Palestine – in September 2014 with a GUE/NGL delegation and in February 2017 with an official parliamentary DPAL delegation.

Meanwhile, in the Spanish parliament, Izquierda Unida deputy Miguel Angel Bustamante Martin, who represents Seville in Congress, raised an official parliamentary question to the Spanish government regarding the situation of Palestinian prisoners. He filed the question on 5 July in response to the detention of Jarrar, Saafin and fellow Palestinian prisoners, including Ihab Massoud, arrested on the same night just six months after heis release from Israeli prisons.

Bustamante asked the government what actions it will take in its relations with Israel regarding the detention of Jarrar, Saafin, Massoud and other Palestinian prisoners, and called for a change in government policy in light of ongoing Israeli repression in occupies Palestine.

Irish Member of European Parliament for Sinn Fein Martina Anderson, herself a former political prisoner, joined her GUE/NGL colleagues in support of Jarrar, Saafin and fellow Palestinian prisoners. “I travelled to Palestine in February of last year and met with Khalida Jarrar and heard first-hand how prisoners are confined to tiny cells, subjected to physical and verbal abuse and how prisoners are often chained to chairs in dark rooms for long periods of time…Palestinian prisoners have to endure their rights being abused. They are subject to trial by military courts; they are tortured and placed in isolation,” said Anderson, urging Jarrar’s immediate release.

15 July, Paris: No to the Criminal Netanyahu in France!

Saturday, 15 July
3:00 pm
Place de la Republique
Paris, France
For more information: http://europalestine.com/spip.php?article13166

We stand against the visit to France of Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of the Israeli colonial government. He is unworthy of the invitation made to him by Emmanuel Macron to commemorate the Vel d’Hiv Roundup.

It is an indecent affront to the victims of the Vel d’Hiv roundup, 13,000 Jews, half of them children, seized in Paris and its suburbs on 16 and 17 July 1942 by 7,000 French police, to be delivered to the Nazis and deported to the camps, of which fewer than 100 returned, to be represented by the racist head of a terrorist state that has persecuted an entire people for decades.

It is scandalous to entrust this commemoration to those who have specialized in the confinement of the Palestinian people, the massacre of civilian populations, the torture of children and the hermetic sealing-off of the Gaza ghetto.

All the more so since the 1942 raid mainly targeted foreign Jews, refugees in France. We know how the Israeli government treats migrants and refugees, whether African asylum seekers called a “cancer” by the minister of “culture,” or Palestinian refugees in camps denied freedom of movement or expelled and illegally barred from their own homeland.

Netanyahu, who practices racial division and apartheid on an ethnic and religious basis, has no welcome in a country that claims to be a defneder of human rights and international law.

We cannot say “Never again” and roll out the red carpet to those responsible for ethnic cleansing.

That is why we call for the widest possible protest on Saturday, 15 July, on the eve of his reception by the President of the Republic. Meet at 15h, Place de la Republique, in Paris on 15 July.
