Israeli prison staff accused of assaulting Marwan Barghouti
Briefly

Palestinian prisoner rights organisations reported that Marwan Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian detainee, was brutally assaulted in solitary confinement at Megiddo prison, suffering multiple injuries.
Barghouti's legal representatives indicated he had faced severe mistreatment since being held in solitary confinement, including recent assaults, resulting in bleeding and severe pain.
Despite claims of mistreatment, Israeli prison authorities stated that all of Barghouti's petitions regarding his treatment have been examined and found no legal violations.
Given Barghouti's prominent position in the Palestinian struggle and his past as a Fatah leader, his potential release is a significant point in negotiating with Hamas.
