Cofounder of The Freedom Theatre Zakaria Zubeidi's Amnesty Revoked: Please Read:
Zakaria Zubeidi one of the founders of the Freedom Theatre and leaders of the resistance under threat
Today, 29th December 2011 the co-founder, avid supporter and mentor of the Freedom Theatre, Zakaria Zubeidi, has been told by the Palestinian Authority that his amnesty is being revoked by the Israeli authorities. This amnesty agreement, granted in 2007 by the Israeli Prime Minister's office was in return for Zubeidi's ending of armed resistance. The amnesty agreement allowed him to remain safe inside the Palestinian Authority district of Jenin where the Israeli military would not seek to arrest or assassinate him.
After having been the leader of the armed resistance during the second Intifada, Zubeidi has since 2006 committed to cultural, non-violent resistance through theatre. He founded The Freedom Theatre together with Juliano Mer Khamis, who was assassinated earlier this year by unknown assailants. The Freedom Theatre is a cultural venue in Jenin Refugee Camp, that uses the arts as a form of resistance against occupation.
