With deep sorrow, the Non-Governmental Group of the Arab Anti-Corruption and Integrity Network mourns the passing of its colleague, lawyer and human rights advocate Ibrahim Al-Barghouti, Director of the Palestinian Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession (Mousawat).

Throughout his distinguished career, Ibrahim Al-Barghouti devoted his life to defending public freedoms and human rights, and to advancing justice and the rule of law.

Ibrahim Al-Barghouti leaves behind a rich and enduring legacy of principles, convictions, and achievements that will continue to inspire us and strengthen our resolve to advance the path of reform and contribute to building a state founded on the rule of law and strong institutions in Palestine and across the Arab region.

The profound impact of Ibrahim Al-Barghouti’s life and work will undoubtedly remain a guiding light for new generations of lawyers, human rights defenders, and advocates for justice. His legacy will continue to inspire greater dedication and principled action in the service of the people.

To his family, colleagues and loved ones, to the staff and members of Mousawat, and to the wider Palestinian human rights and legal community, we extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy.

We honour his memory by reaffirming our commitment to the values and principles to which he devoted his life, and by carrying forward the path championed by Ibrahim Al-Barghouti. We will remember his steadfast conscience, his resolute voice in defence of truth and justice, and his unwavering words and good deeds, which we pray God will count among his righteous deeds.
