A Palestinian human rights center accused Israel of subjecting the Palestinian leader detained in the Israeli Ramla prison, Khalida Jarrar, to a systematic campaign of repression and abuse that threatens her life.
The Hanthala Center for Prisoners and Freed Prisoners (independent) said in a statement that the prominent leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine "is facing harsh conditions in Israeli prisons, with her continued solitary confinement for 93 days, and is being subjected to a systematic campaign of repression and abuse that threatens her life."
It added that the detainee Khalida "lives in a narrow, unventilated room, and lacks the most basic necessities of life, such as water and ablution, to the point that her detention room has become like a grave."
The center continued: "The activist Khalida Jarrar finds no place but to lie next to the door, a place to be able to breathe with the least amount of oxygen, in a tragic scene that reflects the cruelty to which prisoners are subjected."
The Hanthala Center called for "urgent human rights and international intervention to save the life of the leading prisoner Khalida Jarrar, and all prisoners in the prisons of The occupation.
Khalida was arrested on December 26 from her home in the city of Ramallah in the central West Bank, and was transferred to administrative detention (without charge), and an administrative detention order was issued against her, then she was isolated in solitary confinement as a form of punishment, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club (Ahli).
Khalida is one of the most prominent leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the second largest faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and was elected a member of the former Palestinian Legislative Council (parliament).
Khalida was arrested several times by the Israeli authorities.
Israel detains 97 female prisoners in its prisons, most of whom are held in the Damoun prison (north), according to the club, which says that "the Israeli occupation forces have arrested more than 11,700 Palestinians from the West Bank, including Jerusalem, since the start of the war of extermination on Gaza on October 7, 2023."
In parallel with the war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army expanded its operations, and settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which resulted in a total of 781 people being killed and 6,300 wounded since October 7, 2023, according to official Palestinian data.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 146,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
