Letters: Zakaria Zubeidi should be released now
As Harriet Sherwood points out (Detained Palestinian theatre director resumes hunger strike, 18 September) a world-renowned theatre, the Freedom Theatre of Jenin, is about to see the death of its cofounder, Zakaria Zubeidi, who is imprisoned by the Palestinian Authority and is on hunger and fluid strike. Zubeidi, a former leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, laid down his arms in 2006 to start a theatre with Juliano Mer Khamis in the Jenin refugee camp, and decided to fight the Israeli occupation through theatre and art rather than armed resistance.
