And Al-Ashqar indicated that the numbers of kidnapped deputies in the occupation ranged from low to low, but they have not stopped since 2006, as the number of deputies who went through the detention experience reached more than 60, while during the past year, cases of arrest of deputies decreased significantly, where 7 cases were monitored. Only a number of them were liberated while 4 deputies were still detained, 3 of whom were issued administrative decisions, while the deputy, Khalidah Jarrar, has been arrested since her arrest in October 2019.
Al-Ashqar considered that the detention of the deputies of the Legislative Council was a political concession, so the occupation often resorted to converting them to administrative detention.
