Marwan Barghouti, aged 64, a prominent Palestinian political figure and a leading candidate for the Palestinian presidency, is reportedly facing severe mistreatment in Israeli detention. According to various sources, including Hussein AlSheikh, the Secretary General of the PLO Executive Committee, and Qadura Fares, the leader of the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs, Barghouti has been subjected to isolation, torture, humiliation, and physical assault by Israeli guards, including being assaulted with clubs. This campaign of repression against Palestinian prisoners has reportedly escalated since the start of Ramadan. Barghouti, who has been imprisoned for over 20 years serving a life sentence for terrorism, remains a significant figure among Palestinians, consistently leading opinion polls as the favorite presidential candidate over Mahmoud Abbas, the current president. His treatment in prison has raised concerns about his health and safety, with allegations of life-threatening injuries. Ahmad Tibi holds Netanyahu responsible for any harm to Barghouti and other detainees.
