40% of Palestinian lawmakers detained by Israel since 2006 elections

Some 40 per cent of the Palestinian Legislative Council’s members have been detained by Israeli occupation forces at one time or another since the 2006 elections, prisoner advocacy groups said on Tuesday.

The groups noted that there are currently six Palestinian parliamentarians held in so-called administrative detention – without charge or trial – including Khalida Jarrar, “who had served time in prison and was later re-arrested and placed in administrative detention since July 2017”.

Badran noted that the family lives in Area C — the more than 60% of the West Bank under full Israeli civilian and security control. “The PA technically has no jurisdiction here,” he said.
