’Israeli’ Forces Abduct Palestinian Lawmaker in W Bank

"Israeli" soldiers had reportedly abducted a Palestinian lawmaker after storming her house in the occupied West Bank.

Early Thursday, some 60 "Israeli" forces raided the house of Khalida Kan'an Muhammad Jarrar, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP] and the Palestinian Legislative Council [PLC], in the city of Ramallah and took her to an unknown location.

Media sources in Ramallah said the Zionist forces kicked down the door of Jarrar's residence and held her husband in a separate room while arresting the legislator.

Jarrar was one of the most outspoken critics of the "Israeli" occupation and had repeatedly slammed the Tel Aviv regime's atrocities against Palestinians.

The "Israeli" regime had been denying the lawmaker the right to travel outside the occupied Palestinian territories since 1988. She campaigned for months in 2010 before receiving the permission to travel to Jordan for medical treatment.

In August last year, Jarrar received a "special supervision order" from the Zionist military, instructing her to leave Ramallah to the West bank city of Jericho.

However, she set up a protest tent outside the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah, where she lived and worked, until the controversial order was overturned later in September.

According to reports, 18 PLC members were currently imprisoned by "Israel", with 9 of them being held without trial under the so-called administrative detention.

Administrative detention was a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows the Zionist government to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months. The detention order could be renewed for indefinite periods of time.
