Khalida Jarrar, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council currently imprisoned in Israel, was cruelly denied a temporary release to attend the funeral of her daughter yesterday. Suha Jarrar, Khalida’s daughter, was a feminist and climate change activist who briefed the United Nations on the methods that the Israeli government uses to restrict Palestinians’ access to water. She was 31 years old.
Jarrar is a parliamentarian elected as a candidate of the socialist political party the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. She is among many members of the PFLP who are imprisoned in Israel for simply belonging to a political organization. As of July 2021, Palestinian human rights organization Addameer counted 4,850 political prisoners held by Israeli authorities.
