Palestinian Leader Marwan Barghouti Allegedly Attacked 3 Times in Israeli Prison
His lawyer says guards used a dog and beat him during three attacks, leaving him bleeding and denying medical care, campaigners said.
- Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti has been violently assaulted three times in Israeli prisons between late March and early April, suffering injuries and denied medical treatment as reported by his lawyer Ben Marmarelli.
- Barghouti, held in solitary confinement and serving five life sentences since 2002, faced attacks in Megiddo, Ganot, and Ramon prisons and was taunted by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
- Rights groups report worsening conditions for over 9,600 Palestinian detainees, with beatings, starvation, and medical neglect intensifying since the start of Israel's war on Gaza.
- Barghouti remains a prominent unifying Palestinian political figure with broad support, although Israel refuses his release in prisoner exchange deals.
