Zakaria, who appears in “Hidden Battles,” has been imprisoned for the second time with out cause. Years ago, Zakaria put down his guns in exchange for amnesty, and works with youth at The Freedom Theater of Jenin which he co-founded. Also the director of the freedom theater, Nabil Al-Raee has been detained for “suspicion of illegal activity.”
The Freedom Theater is a non-violent gathering place for the young people of Jenin to explore their national identity through theater. Last year, the other co-founder , Juliano Mer-Khamis, was murdered in cold blood.
Nabil is being held in a detention center that practices torture, and Zakariah gas not been given access to his lawyer.
We ask that you contact the following officials and ask that they are released on grounds that they have not been charged with a crime. We are concerned for their health and well being.
