RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah, 26 Sebtember 2021. Palestinian lawmaker Khalida Jarrar visits the grave of her daughter at the Ramallah city cemetery in the West Bank, following her release from an Israeli prison. STORYLINE: Jarrar, 58, was sentenced in March 2021 to 2 years in prison for belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which Israel and the United States label a "terrorist" organisation. She had been detained without charge since 2019, and her sentence included time served. Israeli authorities released today former lawmaker and political leader Khaleda Jarrar after serving two years behind Israeli bars. Jarrar is a senior leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was detained at the end of October 2019 for her role in the PFLP and held in administrative detention without charge or trial and based on secret evidence not available for even her lawyer. On 12 July 2021, following several communications submitted to the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) for the temporary humanitarian release of Palestinian political prisoner Khalida Jarrar to attend her deceased daughter's funeral, the Israeli Prison Service denied Khalida's release on political grounds, citing the alleged "security threat" she poses due to her "[negative] leadership role" inside and out of prison.
