April 12, 2026, I visited Marwan Barghouti in my capacity as his lawyer.
What I confirmed through this visit is deeply alarming. In recent weeks, Marwan Barghouti has been subjected to three violent assaults. On April 8 in Ganot Prison, he was severely beaten and left bleeding for more than two hours. He requested medical care and was denied treatment. On March 25, he was assaulted during his transfer from Megiddo to Ganot. On March 24, in Megiddo Prison, guards entered his cell with a dog, forced him to the ground, and the dog repeatedly attacked him. 
These are not isolated incidents. They form a clear pattern of escalating abuse: violence, medical neglect, and treatment that places him at immediate risk.
He had a great deal to say. Above all, he wanted to know more about his family and the Palestinian people, What is happening in Palestinian and Israeli scene I tried to tell him everything I know.
But even that conversation took place under absurd conditions: the phones did not work, so we had to shout through the glass just to hear each other.
For five hours, I sat there without food or water, trying to make sure this visit meant something.
This is what a legal visit looks like today: basic conditions denied, communication obstructed, and even the most elementary human and professional standards ignored.
And still, despite all of that, his mind was sharp, focused, and deeply engaged with everything happening outside those prison walls.

I cannot stop crying, I am in an uncontrollable hysterical state,
I saw blood flooding the place around me,
and even now, the screams of pain and wailing from the families of the martyrs are tearing through my ears,
I saw a bleeding father bidding farewell to his martyred child,
a scene that was a living hell and an unbearable, indescribable terror.

There were only a few meters separating me from the jeep targeted by the occupation army, I survived death by an unbelievable miracle.😭💔

I am voting against the Government’s plans to further restrict the right to protest tonight. Step by step we have witnessed the erosion of basic civil liberties won by people protesting over centuries.

BREAKING - @zarahsultana exercises Parliamentary Privilege to expose the unjust nature of the Filton 24 re-trial.
UK press has been court ordered not to publish these details.
“If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”

@PulaRJS @MarkHuggins0 @AlexCrawfordSky She did the same when she was able to get into Gaza and would’ve done more if she’d been allowed. A great journalist with integrity and honesty, like they all should be.

Oh the irony… the police have banned our defend the right to protest protest from using any form of amplified sound
And that’s under current laws. MPs are over there right now debating further draconian crackdowns on the right to protest!

Throughout our history, victories of the powerless over the powerful have been made possible through sustained action and protest.
Your right to protest is being turned into a privilege granted by the state.

Hundreds of people should not be facing potential terrorism charges simply for holding placards, especially after a court ruling that the proscription of the organisation they were supporting is unlawful. That's not how democracy is supposed to work.

My favourite of all the illegal and utterly pointless arrests at Saturday’s Palestine Action protest in Trafalgar Square.
I thought this circus, created by Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper, was over when the High Court ruled the ban on Palestine Action unlawful — but on it goes.

I would rather the taxes we pay go to helping the next generation of disadvantaged children rather than on funding war war war.

I’m curious to know if we are given custodial sentences under anti terrorist legislation where does the prison officers association stand? It’s a serious question. I wouldn’t put it past Starmer and crew to try to imprison us.
The Prisons are overstretched as it is. Do prison officers realise that they will be responsible for dealing with perhaps thousands of elderly inmates with complex medical needs ? Disabled people, perhaps many in wheelchairs or blind or deaf or both, some on oxygen and many with a number of chronic illnesses, people needing walking sticks or crutches and so on.
I hope they are demanding the government increase their staffing levels, pay them more and are given suitable training to deal with the thousands of people with special needs they will be made responsible for.

523 Arrests in London The Met are yet to justify to the public why they U-turned on their policy to not make arrests following the High Court ruling that the proscription of Palestine Action is unlawful. There has been no legal status change since Feb 13. Why the arrests now?

@ScottishCND Police have made 2700+ arrests under terrorism laws in the UK for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. This cannot go unchallenged. The UK’s chief prosecutors must now decide whether to prosecute them. We need to urge them not to amnesty.org.uk/get-involved/t…

It is honestly difficult to comprehend the notion that the British court system is stubbornly persecuting non-violent civic protestors as terrorists for . . . trying to prevent mass killing.
The UK national media are meanwhile totally silent about this.

The High Court ruled in February that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful...
The MET rightly said it would stop making arrests...
But after the government launched an appeal, on Saturday the Police arrested over 500 protesters - with Amnesty observing the use of handcuffs on multiple peaceful protesters.
If you think this is plainly disproportionate and absurd, you’re not alone.
Thousands of Amnesty International Supporters have signed a petition calling for all prosecutions against these protesters to be dropped. Add your name today: amn.st/6012B6NuGk

Palestine Action defendants are blocked from explaining their motives or mentioning Israel, genocide, or the target of their actions
The British state is destroying its own courts to protect Israel's apartheid system
We are reporting this because British media can not
The Grayzone@TheGrayzoneNews
A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s weaponization of censorship and secrecy laws has just begun. The Grayzone's @MaxBlumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group Palestine Action face terrorism charges and the possibility of long prison terms – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this. The UK media is similarly banned from reporting on these facts, while the defendants in the case are blocked by court order from explaining their motives for damaging and occupying Israeli weapons factories on British soil. Blumenthal explains why Palestine Action is being targeted with such a draconian prosecution: because they are effective. Having caused the closure of Israeli factories, they have provided activists around the world with a workable model for raising the cost of occupation and genocide. Now, he argues, the British state is so determined to prevent their acquittal before a potentially sympathetic jury that it rigging the trial and perverting whatever's left of democracy, all to preserve its special relationship with Israel.
