The Israeli Court has sentenced the brave Palestinian combatant Marawan El-Barghouthi 165 years, i.e. more than a century and a half. 

Israel, in fact, was not prosecuting El-Barghouthi, but the whole Palestinian people. It was prosecuting the resistance, the Intifada. It was announcing to the whole world how much hatred it feels towards the Palestinian people and its leaders.

Israel, the Zionist State, that fills the world with cries because of the Holocaust and the Jewish suffering at the hands of Nazism, has surpassed, in its dealings with the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular, all the red lines. It surpassed Aikhenvald and Auschwitz and now it holds the title of "First Slaughterer" in the whole world: A state that commits the most brutal forms of racist terrorism, genocide and ethnic cleansing, a state that performs the worst atrocities witnessed by the whole world in the modern era, a state ruled by a murderer and a war criminal. Israel has come to Palestine as an alien invader to the Arab territories, settles down in the service of the enemies of the Arabs, plants hatred and instability and pushes the whole region to explosion, and now it has the guts to sentence those who resist it to prison for more than a century and a half. 

The Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization urges Human Rights and Justice Organizations to intervene immediately for the release of all Palestinian prisoners and detainees, and above all Marawan El-Barghouthi. 

The Organization also calls upon the Arab States and the Arab League to officially declare their protest on this false trial and to call for the immediate release of all Palestinian prisoners and detainees, and above all Marawan El-Barghouthi. 

We demand all Non-Governmental Organizations, defending democracy and freedom of all peoples, to intervene immediately and pressurize its respective governments in order to support the victims of the Israeli Holocaust against the Palestinian people, and among them Marawan El-Barghouthi.
