Release Marwan Barghouti - the 'Palestinian Mandela'

[jon1959]

The movement to get Marwan Barghouti out of gaol to act as a unifying leadership figure for all Palestinians (Gaza, West Bank, Israel, in the refugee camps of Jordan and Lebanon, and the diaspora) is growing.

He is currently the one figure with the status and support to head a Palestinian drive for statehood, and would push Hamas and the despised 'Vichy' regime of the Palestinian Authority to the sidelines.

Israel (having imprisoned him after a farcical and corrupt 'trial') refuses to let him go - recognising the danger he would pose to their 'Greater Israel' ambitions. There remains a constant risk he will be killed in custody.

The 'names' supporting the calls for his release are impressive (not just this latest list) and some are surprising.

... and not a word from all the 'liberal democracies' who only support rules-based international law when it suits them.
