Popular Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti has faced a series of “violent” assaults in Israeli jails in recent weeks, raising new concerns that his life may be at risk, according to his lawyer.
Lawyer Ben Marmarelli said in a statement published on Wednesday on the Telegram page of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office that Barghouti, who has been serving a life sentence imposed by Israel since 2002, had been subjected to three assaults over March and April, indicating a pattern of “escalating violations”.
