No charges have been made against him, no evidence presented and throughout his imprisonment his rights have been severely violated, as described by among others Human Rights Watch (http:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2012\/07\/27\/israelpalestinian-authority-theater-group-hit-both-sides).<\/p>\n<p>Being one of the last survivors of Arna&#8217;s Children, Zakaria joined the armed resistance during the second Intifada and became one of its leading figures. After co-founding The Freedom Theatre in 2006 Zakaria decided to lay down his weapons in order to join a cultural resistance, which he deemed a more powerful tool against the Israeli occupation. Surviving numerous assassination attempts by the Israeli army and vowing to never again enter an Israeli prison, Zakaria is now instead facing death in a Palestinian prison unless immediate action is taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Freedom Theatre urges all its friends and supporters to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contact the local representative office of the Palestinian Authority(2) and demand Zakaria Zubeidi&#8217;s release.
