Israeli Authorities Release Palestinian parliament member Khalida Jarrar

Israeli authorities released imprisoned Palestinian parliament member Khalida Jarrar on Friday, after being held for 14 months in Israeli prison. 
The Israeli authorities released Jarrar at the Jbara checkpoint near the northern occupied West Bank district of Tulkarem. 
Jarrar, an executive committee member of the PLO and leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was detained on April 2 from her home in Ramallah and initially sentenced to six months of administrative detention -- internment without trial or charge. 
However, international pressure later forced Israeli authorities to bring charges against her, all 12 of which focused on her political activism. 
A judge ordered Jarrar to be released on bail in May, claiming there was not sufficient evidence for her posing a security threat. However, another judge reversed the decision a week later, ordering her to remain in prison until her trial. 
Her arrest was condemned by the international community, as Palestinian and Israeli human rights groups demanded her release. 
Following Jarrar’s release, six incumbent Palestinian parliament members still remain in Israeli prisons, including Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and PFLP Secretary-General Ahmad Saadat.
