📖 Key Information
Marwan Barghouti (Arabic: مروان البرغوثي, romanized: Marwān al-Bargūṯiyy; born 6 June 1959), sometimes known by the kunya Abu Al-Qassam (أبو القسام), is a Palestinian political leader who has served as an elected legislator and has been an advocate of a two-state solution since prior to his imprisonment by Israel.
Barghouti led street protests and diplomatic initiatives until 2002, the early Second Intifada, when he was captured, convicted, and imprisoned by Israel on charges of involvement in deadly attacks that resulted in the deaths of five people. Barghouti declined to recognise the legitimacy of the court or enter a plea, but stated that he had no connection to the incidents for which he was convicted.
