European Parliament members demand “pressure” on Israel to free Palestinian lawmakers

[Свободный Ион]

Fifty-eight members of the European Parliament have called on the EU to put “pressure” on Israel to release Khalida Jarrar and other members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) from its prisons.
Jarrar was today indicted by Israel’s military court while another prominent Palestinian detainee, former hunger striker Khader Adnan, has reportedly been placed in punitive solitary confinement.
“We call for the immediate release of Jarrar and all detained Palestinian parliamentarians and an immediate and definitive halt of all measures targeting our Palestinian parliamentary colleagues, including arrests and expulsions from Jerusalem,” the European lawmakers said in a 13 April letter to the EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.
