Marwan Habash (Arabic: مروان حبش; born in 1938) is a Syrian former politician and writer. He was a member of the Regional Command of the Baath Party in Syria and Minister of Industry in the government of Salah Jadid. Following a successful coup d'etat against Jadid's leadership in 1970, Habash was imprisoned along with others perceived to be Jadid loyalists. One of the world's longest-held political prisoners, he was released in 1993.[1] He has since become a writer and public analyst.
