“Dear colleagues, I ask you to take a few minutes of your time to act in support of Palestinians and against the illegal procedure of administrative detention.” Prof. Imad Barghouthi asks for international support as he waits for an Israeli court to review the military order that put him under administrative detention for four months.

Prof. Imad Barghouthi, a faculty member in the physics department of Al Quds University, writes from Ofer prison where he has been held since July 16. He asks the international community for support in demanding his release, or least the ability to continue teaching during his detention.
