Ahmed Tobasi of the Freedom Theatre in Jenin & Bread and Puppet’s Peter Schumann on Art & Liberation

We continue our conversation with Ahmed Tobasi, the artistic director at the Freedom Theatre in Jenin, and Peter Schumann, the 89-year-old co-founder of the legendary Bread and Puppet Theater based in Vermont. Tobasi was jailed this week after Israel rounded up hundreds of Palestinian men during a massive raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Two of his colleagues remain in detention.

Israelische Soldaten haben mehrere Mitglieder des "Freedom Theatre" in Dschenin verhaftet.

Das von einer Friedensaktivisten in den 1980ern gegründete Theater ist international bekannt und soll vor allem jungen Menschen eine Perspektive und Orientierung inmitten der Gewalt bieten. Der Sohn der Gründerin wurde 2011 ermordet, der Fall bleibt ungeklärt.

Künstler in Europa protestieren gegen die aktuellen Verhaftungen.

Al Jazeera hat mehrere Fotos veröffentlicht, die zeigen, dass im Theater Davidsterne an die Wände geschmiert wurden. Ob das die Soldaten waren, ist unklar.
