International campaign for Marwan Barghouti

Overview

An international campaign, including the ‘Freedom for Marwan’ and ‘Free Marwan Now’ initiatives, has gained significant momentum calling for the release of Palestinian figure Marwan Barghouti from Israeli custody.

More than 200 prominent figures from the film, music, and literary sectors have signed the appeal. This includes over 20 actors associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, and Ian McKellen. The campaign has also received institutional support, with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa becoming the first sitting head of state to sign the petition.

Barghouti, a former Fatah official, has been detained in Israel since 2002 and is serving multiple life sentences following convictions related to attacks during the Second Intifada. Supporters and campaign organizers argue his detention is political and have raised concerns regarding his treatment in prison, noting reports of violent mistreatment and his placement in solitary confinement since 2023. The initiative calls on the United Nations and global governments to advocate for his release.
