The Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs expressed real fear for the life of the prisoner Marwan Barghouthi. The Commission pointed to Israeli incitement against him, which coincided with his repeated transfer between solitary confinement prisons.
The head of the commission, Qaddoura Fares, said that the repeated transfers of Barghouti to solitary confinement - while lawyers are still prevented from visiting him - raise real fears for his life. He called on international institutions and relevant local authorities to stand up to their responsibilities, and the need to expedite work on visiting prisons.
