Se rappeler de la libération de Mandela et exiger la mise en liberté de Marwan Barghouti

Il serait temps que Marwan Barghouti, le « nouveau Mandela » palestinien, soit libéré après 20 d’incarcération dans des prisons israéliennes En ce 11 février, nous devrions commémorer la libération de Nelson Mandela qui avait été libéré de prison le 11 février 1990 après vingt-cinq longues années. Cette date devrait aussi nous évoquer une autre figure : celle de Marwan Barghouti, le leader palestinien qui est coincé derrière les barreaux en Israël depuis 20 ans. A l’instar de Mandela, il est celui qui pourrait, s’il sortait de prison, réunir toutes les factions, gagner la présidence, entamer des négociations en vue d’une paix définitive pour son peuple, obtenir le soutien de ce-dernier et ensuite mener à une transition vers la vérité et la réconciliation dans un nouveau pays indépendant. Malheureusement, il demeure dans sa cellule, dans la prison de Hadarim situé sur la côte méditerranéenne près d’Herzliya. Le seul moyen de le libérer serait de lancer une campagne internationale, semblable à celle qui avait permis la mise en liberté de Nelson Mandela. Nous appelons tous ceux qui défendent l’idée d’un Etat palestinien indépendant à soutenir la campagne internationale pour libérer Marwan barghouti et tous les prisonniers palestiniens (http://fmaapp.ps/) et à prendre part aux campagnes en France, en Italie et dans d’autres pays européens afin de célébrer ce 15 avril 2015 l’anniversaire de sa capture et de son arrestation.



Il y a 25 ans, Nelson Mandela, sourire aux lèvres, le poing levé, gagnait enfin sa liberté. « Enfin libre… enfin libre. » Ce jour marquait le commencement d’une nouvelle ère et l’apartheid allait enfin toucher à sa fin. Bien qu’il reste beaucoup de progrès à réaliser, la mise en liberté de Mandela et d’autres prisonniers combattant l’apartheid a poussé le gouvernement à entamer un dialogue visant la paix, la liberté, la réconciliation et la cohabitation pacifique. Alors que nous commémorons cet évènement historique qui a changé l’Afrique du Sud ainsi que le monde, le destin de Marwan Barghouti, autre symbole de la paix, nous vient à l’esprit. L’histoire de Marwan est très semblable à celle de Mandela. Ils sont tous les deux à l’origine des premières ramifications de leurs mouvements politiques, et ils ont forgé leur légitimité grâce à leur activisme et à leur rôle central dans le soulèvement des masses contre l’oppression.

Au moment de leur arrestation, ils étaient chefs de leurs partis politiques respectifs et, alors qu’ils étaient en prison, ils sont devenus aux yeux de tous des symboles de la paix. Ils ont refusé de se défendre au tribunal et ont plaidé la cause de leur peuple. Alors qu’ils luttaient pour le droit à résister à l’oppression, ils prônaient essentiellement une lutte pacifique en vue d’obtenir la paix, et ce même lorsqu’il s’agissait de luttes armées. Ils ont également été capables de maintenir l’unité au sein de leur peuple, tout en étant ouvert au dialogue avec autrui.

Cette année marque le 25ème anniversaire de la libération de Mandela. Marwan est derrière les barreaux depuis 20 ans et il n’a pas mis un pied dehors durant les 13 dernières années de son incarcération. En octobre 2013, une campagne internationale pour la libération de Marwan et de tous les prisonniers politiques palestiniens avait été lancée depuis la cellule de Nelson Mandela à Robben Island. A cette occasion, nous avons décidé de mettre en place l’International High Level Committee (un comité international de haut niveau), étant donné que la solidarité internationale permet de contribuer à notre liberté et à celle de nos alliés. De telles campagnes internationales portent un message fort : elles montrent que l’emprisonnement de nos alliés a des conséquences politiques et morales considérables pour les forces de l’oppression.

Lorsque l’on parle de prisonnier politique, le cas le plus significatif et le plus choquant est celui de la Palestine. 800 000 palestiniens ont passé un séjour en prison. Beaucoup d’entre eux ont écopé entre 25 et 30 ans de prison. Il n’y aucune exception : enfants, femmes, membres du parlement et défenseurs des droits de l’homme dépérissent dans les prisons israéliennes.

La lutte contre l’apartheid reflète de manière emblématique le combat pour la liberté et les droits de l’homme à travers le monde. L’apartheid était connu pour son oppression et son injustice extrême. Existe-t-il aujourd’hui un conflit plus représentatif que le conflit palestinien du combat pour la liberté face à l’oppression, du le droit sur la force, de la justice face à l’impunité ? Les politiques coloniales et discriminatoires d’Israël, aussi bien dans les territoires occupés que dans ses propres frontières, montrent clairement que nous assistons à la renaissance de l’apartheid, renaissance que nous ne pouvons tolérer.

En lançant la campagne pour la libération de Marwan et de tous les prisonniers palestiniens (inspirée par la campagne pour la libération de Mandela), nous ne dénonçons pas seulement l’occupation et les conséquences qu’elle a sur les Palestiniens ; nous affichons clairement que la lutte palestinienne est la prolongation légitime de la lutte contre l’apartheid, et que la libération de Marwan et de tous les prisonniers palestiniens est une étape nécessaire pour redonner la liberté au peuple palestinien.

Nous commémorerons un jour la mise en liberté de Marwan et nous pourrons admirer son sourire et son poing levé. Dès qu’Israël sera disposé à mettre un terme à l’occupation, Marwan sera ouvert au dialogue et prêt à agir en faveur de la paix. Toutes nos victoires contre l’oppression, le racisme, la discrimination, la ségrégation et l’apartheid doivent nous permettre de faire régner la liberté et la dignité en Palestine, ainsi que la paix basée sur le droit international.

Statement on 25th anniversary
of Nelson Mandela’s release
 
Time to release Palestine's Marwan Barghouthi, 
the new Mandela, after 20 years in Israeli jails

 

300
 
On this day we should remember Nelson Mandela who was released from prison 25 years ago on February 11th 1990.
 
We should also remember Marwan Barghouthi, the Palestinian leader who has been held in Israeli jails for 20 years.  Like Mandela, he is the leader who could come out of prison, unite all the factions, win the presidency, negotiate a peace settlement, put it to his people, win their support and then preside over a process of truth and reconciliation in a newly independent country.
 
Instead he sits in Cell 28 of Hadarim Prison near the Mediterranean resort of Herzliya knowing that his release can only be the result of the kind of international campaign that succeeded, all those years ago, in freeing Nelson Mandela.
 
We appeal to all supporters of an independent Palestinian state to support the International Campaign to Free Marwan Barghouthi and All Palestinian Prisoners (http://fmaapp.ps/) and join with campaigns in France, Italy and other European countries to mark the anniversary of his abduction and arrest on April 15th 2015.
 
Time to remember Mandela's release and demand Marwan's freedom 
by Ahmed Kathrada, who spent 26 years in apartheid jails, Founder of the Free Mandela Campaign,& Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, former political prisoner under the dictatorship in Argentina
 
On this day, 25 years ago, the world finally saw Mandela's smile and his defiant fist raised to the skies. Free at last…free at last. Mandela’s release marked the start of a new era and was the first real sign that apartheid was close to its end.
 
There was still everything to do, but the apartheid government signaled through the release of Mandela and other anti-apartheid prisoners its readiness to engage in serious dialogue towards freedom, peace, reconciliation and coexistence.

While we celebrate this historical event that changed durably the face of South Africa and the world, we are reminded of the fate of another symbol of freedom: Marwan Barghouthi. Marwan’s path tremendously resembles Mandela’s. They both founded the youth branch of their political movements, drew their legitimacy from their activism on the ground and their central role in building a mass uprising against oppression.
 
They both were leaders at the moment of their arrest, and transformed into national and universal symbols while in detention. They both boycotted their courts and pleaded the case of their people rather than their own. While insisting on the right of their people to resist oppression, including through armed struggle, they both strongly advocated mass popular peaceful resistance to achieve freedom. They also both demonstrated an unbelievable capacity to be unitarian figures among their own, while engaging in dialogue with the other.
 
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Mandela’s release, and the 20th year that Marwan spends behind bars, including the last 13 years consecutively. In October 2013, an international campaign was launched from Nelson Mandela’s cell on Robben Island for the freedom of Marwan and all Palestinian political prisoners. We decided to set up, on this occasion, an International High Level Committee for the release of Marwan and all prisoners, as we ourselves, have experienced international solidarity in support of our freedom, and the freedom of our companions in struggle. Such international campaigns send a powerful message: our imprisonment entails a significant political and moral cost for the forces of oppression.
 
When we talk of political imprisonment, the Palestinian example is clearly the most significant and shocking of all. 800 000 Palestinians have been imprisoned at some point of their lives. Many Palestinians have spent over 25 or 30 years in prison. No one is immune; children, women, MPs and human rights defenders continue to languish in Israeli jails.
 
The anti-apartheid struggle became an emblematic reflection of the battle for freedom and human rights worldwide. Apartheid was considered as one of the worst manifestations of oppression and injustice. What conflict can today symbolise the struggle for freedom against oppression, of right over might, of justice against impunity, more than the Palestinian struggle? Israel’s colonial and discriminatory policies, both in the occupied territory, and within its own borders, are a clear demonstration that we are witnessing the rebirth of apartheid, a prospect none of us should tolerate.
 
By launching the Free Marwan and all Palestinian Prisoners campaign, inspired by the Free Mandela campaign, we are not only taking a strong stance against this occupation and what it inflicts upon the Palestinian people, but we are also testifying our belief that the Palestinian struggle is the legitimate prolongation of the anti-apartheid struggle and that the freedom of Marwan and of all Palestinian prisoners is the necessary prelude to the freedom of the Palestinian people.
 
We will one day celebrate the release of Marwan. And the world will discover his smile, and his defying fist, which will transform into an open hand ready to shake the hand of the future and work for peace, as soon as Israel manifests its intention to end its occupation, not further entrench it. All our victories over oppression, racism, discrimination, segregation and apartheid must combine to ensure the triumph of freedom and dignity in Palestine, and peace based on international law.
