❗️Global campaign launches to secure release of Palestinian captive Marwan Barghouti

A worldwide campaign is being organized to push for the release of Marwan Barghouti. Led by Barghouti’s family in the occupied West Bank with backing from UK civil society groups, the initiative aims to make his case central to the next phase of ceasefire negotiations around Gaza.

Public support for Barghouti has remained consistently strong, with repeated opinion polls showing he is the most popular Palestinian politician in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Murals reading “Free Marwan,” coordinated by Creative Debuts founder Calum Hall, have begun appearing across London, and a large public art installation has been unveiled in his home village of Kobar near Ramallah.

Barghouti has spent more than 20 years in Israeli prison after a trial the Inter-Parliamentary Union condemned as deeply flawed. He has also been tortured by Israeli forces in recent months.

Despite heavy pressure from Hamas and Gulf states, Israel refused to include him in the large prisoner swap during the 13 October ceasefire.

A letter urging his release, signed by a range of political and cultural figures, is expected to be published next week as the campaign gathers international momentum.freeMarwanpalestinegazaMarwanBarghouti@palestine@lemmy.ml@Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@fedibird.com
