Palestinian groups are alarmed for the safety of imprisoned leader Marwan Barghouti after his son reported that Israeli guards allegedly tortured him, leading to severe injuries. While Qassam Barghouti deleted his initial Facebook post sharing these claims, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society condemned the situation as intimidation. Barghouti, a prominent Fatah leader, has been imprisoned since 2002, and his family launched a campaign for his release amid fears for his health. The Palestinian presidency also condemned the attacks on Barghouti and held Israel accountable for his safety.
