Free Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian parliamentarian and feminist
Why this petition matters
Khalida Jarrar is a Palestinian organizer, parliamentarian, leftist and feminist. She has been imprisoned since 2 July 2017 - without charge and without trial - under Israeli "administrative detention." Khalida's administrative detention was already renewed once, and the current order expires on 30 June 2018. It has reportedly been renewed once more, but not yet confirmed by the military court. It's very important to raise attention about her case now in order to pressure for her release and prevent the Israeli occupation from extending her detention once more.
Khalida is one of Palestine's foremost advocates for freedom and justice. As Vice-Chair of the Board of Addameer, she works to free Palestinian political prisoners. Within the Palestinian Legislative Council, she is a member of the Palestinian national committee to bring Palestinian cases to the International Criminal Court and hold Israeli officials accountable internationally.
Khalida must be free, and our voices must be heard to support her struggle.
