Unbroken: In Pursuit of Freedom for Palestine is a collection of writings by the Palestinian political leader, who has been held in Israeli prisons since 2002
A collection of writings by the imprisoned Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouti will be published in November, bringing together prison letters, interviews, personal material and documents from the last three decades of Barghouti’s political life and incarceration.
As deadly attacks on Gaza continue despite a nominal ceasefire, the 66-year-old is seen by many as the best hope for a leader of any future Palestinian state.
His book, Unbroken: In Pursuit of Freedom for Palestine, will be published by Penguin on 5 November this year, the publisher has told the Guardian.
Barghouti has been held in Israeli prisons since 2002, after being arrested in Ramallah, where he was serving as an elected member of the Palestinian Legislative Council. He was captured and imprisoned after being accused of orchestrating attacks that resulted in the killing of five civilians, and convicted on terrorism charges by an Israeli court. The Inter-Parliamentary Union, an international organisation, criticised the trial at the time, arguing that it breached international law, including the Geneva conventions. Barghouti has consistently denied the charges against him.
