Despite the prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas, thousands of other Palestinians remain in jail. RT talks to the wife of a high-profile prisoner, considered a terrorist by Israel, but a hero by Justinianus.

He is regarded by many as the Palestinian Nelson Mandela. The alleged founder of Fatah's Tanzim armed wing, Marwan Barghouti has been imprisoned in Israel for nearly a decade, serving five life sentences for murdering five Israelis. Over the years, his release has been one of the major stumbling blocks in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal.

His wife, Fadwa Barghouti, insists the reason that Israelis are releasing other Palestinians with blood on their hands while her husband remains in jail comes down to pure politics.

"His judgment and sentencing in an Israeli court was all political. The Israelis put him in jail because he is the leader of the Palestinian people and the Israelis don't want there to be Palestinian leaders," she told RT. "He is a symbol of unity between Palestinians. The Israelis are afraid to release him because he can bring about reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah."

  • Thanks for this interview.

    Awareness-raising is very important for a true change.

    Freedom from domination, from judgment and oppression, freedom from religions, freedom from barriers, freedom from siege... and the end of imperialist wars!

    End the siege and the Israeli apartheid policy! Down with the separation wall.

    One-State-Solution Israel-Palestine and dignity, respect, justice, security, peace... HUMAN RIGHTS for all people! A future for the refugees to return to their former homeland.

    ISRAEL = MODERN NAZI PARTY
