An international campaign to pressure for the release of Marwan Barghouti has begun. This is a pivotal moment in our movement. Marwan has been imprisoned for over 20 years now and convicted under illegitimate and politically motivated circumstances. Despite his name being exchanged in every prisoner release deal, Israel refuses to free him. Why? Because he’s widely seen as a fierce and true leader to the Palestinian people and could unite the movement stronger than ever — Israel’s worst nightmare.
Send a letter to journalists at mainstream companies like CNN, The Washington Post, AP, Reuters, and The Guardian, who were influential in Mohammed Ibrahim’s release, to enact that same pressure for Marwan! Outlets like The Washington Post and The Guardian have spoken about Marwan after our letters were sent, so let’s keep up the pressure so every outlet can keep his name alive!
