The Global Solidarity for Peace in Palestine coalition hosted an online presentation about the International Campaign to Free Marwan Barghouti. The campaign was launched in 2013 from the cell where Nelson Mandela had been confined, in Robben Island, South Africa. Advocates for Marwan’s release believe he can have a unifying effect among numerous groups of people.
Speakers included:
- Fadwa Barghouti, spouse of Marwan Barghouti
- Arab Barghouti, son of Marwan Barghouti, Free Barghouti Campaign
- Moharram Barghouthi, founder of Barghouti Campaign
Marwan Barghouti has been unjustly imprisoned by Israel for over two decades, convicted in a trial by a court he did not recognise. Yet he remains Palestine’s most popular leader, a unifying voice for Palestinian rights, freedom and dignity — often called Palestine’s Nelson Mandela. Global Solidarity for Peace in Palestine (GSPP) is a coalition of organizations from around the world committed to defending the rights of Palestinians and ending the occupation. Our movement is built on the principles of justice, human dignity, and respect for international law.

He should have been set free decades ago. In fact, never imprisoned in the first place.
He should never have been imprisoned in the first place. Typical Israeli aggression!
Marwan Barghouti’s imprisonment is already a gross violation of human rights. His treatment in jail is another thing – a crime: he is being beaten, his ribs broken, and tortured for the entertainment of the guards. Marwan needs to be freed ASAP, and those engaging in gratuitous torture have to be brought before a Nuremberg-style tribunal. Israeli authorities are complicit and need to face a war crimes tribunal too.
Under the UN Charter, section 2 copied below, torture is unjustifiable:
2. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.
Justice for Marwan and other Israeli prisoners!
This illegal imprisonment must stop! It will benefit all parties to grant freedom to a unifier. Free him now!
This man must be freed.
Free him now. He should have never been imprisoned .
