Palestinian lawmaker finally freed from Israeli jails

At the start of this month, Khalida Jarrar, was released from jail after 14 months of administrative detention. At her release, Khalida's message was that internationally, the Palestinian solidarity movement needs to devote more energy and campaigning on the issue of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. At the same time Khalida was released, new arrests highlighted the reach of the Israeli state. Earlier in the year, Mohamed Nazal was abducted while living in Egypt, and Nasser Qaws, director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society in Jerusalem, was arrested last week.
