Arab Barghouti

Yeah, the Israelis say, anyone who says no to the occupation as a terrorist, this labeling of terrorism is a colonial language.

It doesn't mean anything anymore.

Nelson Mandela was labeled a terrorist.

My father is a politician.

He's part of Fatah.

Fatah was the party that went for the Oslo Accords, accepted the coexistence with the Israelis.

And he was the Secretary General of Fatah in the West Bank.

And as

a parliamentarian as well, he was voted as a parliament member and his role was to lead the people and he told the people to go to the streets, he demonstrated, he was in every demonstration and he became the face of the Palestinian uprising in 2002, between 2000 and 2005.

And that's why they wanted to silence him.

They wanted to put him in prison because he had become a really effective leader.

And of course, it was a kangaroo trial.

And these are not my words.

The Inter-Parliamentary Union report says that it would be impossible to say that Marwan Barghouti has been given a fair trial.

Of course.

He's a politician.

Again, he wasn't involved in military actions.

And again, if you go to the specifics of that trial, the judge called him a terrorist from the beginning of the trial.

So there was no... Before any evidence was heard.

Yeah, before.
