The popular Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti is suffering from rib fractures after being beaten unconscious in Israeli prison, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office said Wednesday. His son, Arab Barghouti, said that the assault took place as his father was being transferred between prisons in Israel. According to Arab Barghouti, the beating allegedly took place after far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited Marwan Barghouti in prison in August and showed him a picture of an electric chair, telling him he deserved to be executed. Marwan Barghouti has been in prison for 20 years, serving five life sentences. Israel prevented his inclusion on the list of Palestinian prisoners to be freed as part of the ceasefire deal.
