Jarrar has long been a target of the Israeli occupation due to her outspoken nature and political activism.
She has spent much of the last six years in and out of Israeli prisons, including between July 2017 and February 2019 in administrative detention, an Israeli policy that allows the imprisonment of Palestinians indefinitely, on “secret information,” without presenting them with formal charges or allowing them to stand trial.
In 2015, she was sentenced to 15 months over the same charge – “membership in an illegal organization”.
Israel outlaws more than 400 organizations, including all Palestinian political parties – including the ruling Fatah party and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) – as “terrorist groups”.
