Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti has been subjected to a series of violent assaults and denied medical care in Israeli detention, according to his lawyer Ben Marmarelli following a recent prison visit.
“What I confirmed through this visit is deeply alarming. In recent weeks, Marwan Barghouti has been subjected to three violent assaults. On April 8 in Ganot Prison, he was severely beaten and left bleeding for more than two hours. He requested medical care and was denied treatment. On March 25, he was assaulted during his transfer from Megiddo to Ganot. On March 24, in Megiddo Prison, guards entered his cell with a dog, forced him to the ground, and the dog repeatedly attacked him.”
Barghouti, a senior figure in the Palestinian national movement who has been imprisoned by Israel since 2002 and is a central political figure among Palestinians, also faced severe restrictions during the legal visit itself. “For five hours, I sat there without food or water, trying to make sure this visit meant something. This is what a legal visit looks like today: basic conditions denied, communication obstructed, and even the most elementary human and professional standards ignored.”
