Renewed campaign to free Marwan Barghouti gets under way
JVL Introduction
More than 200 writers, musicians and other public figures in the arts, entertainement and sports worlds have signed the following statement:
“We express our grave concern at the continuing imprisonment of Marwan Barghouti, his violent mistreatment and denial of legal rights whilst imprisoned. We call upon the United Nations and the Governments of the World to actively seek the release of Marwan Barghouti from Israeli prison.”
If you are a public figure in music, film and tv, visual arts, literature, theatre and performance, sports, media and journalism, academia and research or public life they call on you to add your voice to the live list of public figures growing every day.
