    Al-Barghouthi is serving the longest sentence in occupation prisons in the history of the captive movement.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that the Supreme Court of the Occupation in al-Quds will consider on Thursday morning, a petition submitted three years ago by prisoner Nael al-Barghouthi's lawyer, in which he objects to the decision to restore his life sentence.

The Club indicated that al-Barghouthi, 63, from the town of Kobar, Ramallah, was first arrested by the occupation in 1978 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was released in the "Wafa Al-Ahrar" deal in 2011 and regained freedom for only 32 months. 

In June 2014, al-Barghouthi was re-arrested and sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Two months after his sentence ended, the Israeli occupation restored his previous life sentence for 18 years under the pretext of a "secret file."

Al-Barghouthi is serving the longest sentence in the history of the captive movement, a total of 41 years, of which he continuously spent 34. 

During his time in prison, the prisoner lost most of his family members, the last of whom was his brother Omar, who was incarcerated for roughly 30 years. 

Al-Barghouthi's wife, liberated prisoner Iman Nafeh hoped her husband would be released, and considered his sentence illegal and inhumane, especially since he was released in a deal.

She also expects the intervention of international parties to exert pressure on the occupation to release her husband.
