He lived in exile in Jordan, and founded the Al-Jamahir newspaper, the main faction in the Jordanian Communist Party, and joined the General Union of Palestine Students. In 1957 the newspaper was closed down by the Jordanian authorities and Barghouti was arrested in Al-Jafr prison. When he was released in 1965, his journalistic license was denied by the Jordanian government, but he continued to write under a pseudonym. After 1967 he said he opposed the right of King Hussein of Jordan to speak on behalf of the Palestinians.
