Palestinian groups have voiced serious concerns about the safety of imprisoned political figure Marwan Barghouti after his son reported receiving a disturbing phone call. The caller, claiming to be a fellow Palestinian prisoner, alleged that Israeli guards severely tortured Barghouti, causing serious injuries. Qassam Barghouti initially posted about the call on Facebook but later deleted it while seeking official confirmation. The Israel Prison Service has dismissed the allegations as false propaganda. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society condemned the alleged intimidation as a continuation of psychological warfare against prisoners' families, escalating concerns for Barghouti's well-being. Barghouti, a prominent Fatah leader, has been imprisoned since 2002.
