Palestinian Prisoners Club: Extending Khalida Jarrar’s detention and isolation is a direct threat to her life
The Prisoners Club said that extending the administrative detention of the detainee Khalida Jarrar (61 years old) for the third time, in addition to extending her isolation order that has continued for 134 days, constitutes a direct attack on her life, and a complex crime that begins with the systematic crime of her administrative detention through which she has been targeted over the past years, in addition to her continued isolation in harsh and difficult conditions in the isolation prison (Neve Tartoussia), which is one of the worst prisons of the Israeli occupation.
The Prisoners Club added in a statement issued on Tuesday evening that the occupation had administratively arrested Jarar a year ago, and on 8/12/2024, it isolated her, as part of a systematic targeting process, where she lives in tragic and difficult conditions, the aim of which is to try to deprive her of her humanity.
It is noteworthy that the occupation forces had re-arrested Jarar on 12/26/2023, from her home in the city of Ramallah, and she was transferred to administrative detention. Throughout the past period, she was detained in Al-Damon prison alongside female detainees, until she was recently transferred to solitary confinement. Since her arrest, she has been facing, like all male and female detainees, harsh and difficult detention conditions, systematic abuse and crimes.
It is noteworthy that Jarar is a former detainee who was detained for about five years. She is a human rights and feminist activist. Throughout her repeated detentions, she faced retaliatory measures against her, the harshest and most difficult of which was preventing her from taking a last look at her daughter who died in her previous detention.
She is one of 89 female detainees in the occupation prisons, most of whom are in the "Damon" prison, and among 23 female prisoners held under administrative detention, including mothers, in addition to sisters of martyrs, mothers of martyrs and detainees, former detainees, students, journalists, activists, and lawyers.
It is noteworthy that the occupation has escalated its campaigns of arrests among women since the beginning of the war of extermination, and the number of arrests among them has reached about 445. This data does not include the women who were arrested from Gaza, whose number is estimated in the dozens.
The Prisoners Club renewed its demand for the international human rights system to restore its necessary role in the face of the ongoing war of extermination, and to put an end to the ongoing state of helplessness in the face of the brutality of the occupation and the horrific crimes it continues to commit, and not to be satisfied with monitoring and declaring positions, including those related to the crimes to which detainees, male and female, are subjected in the occupation’s prisons and camps as one aspect of the war of extermination.
