Juliano Mer-Khamis Murdered in Jenin
"On the 4th of April 2011, at 16.00 outside the entrance to The Freedom Theatre in Jenin Refugee Camp, a traitor's hand shot and killed the Palestinian thinker Juliano Mer-Khamis whilst he was driving home with his baby son and babysitter. Juliano was shot in his head and died in a few instants, the remains of the bullet lodged in the babysitters arm.
Juliano Mer-Khamis, actor, director, filmmaker and cultural activist, son of Arna Mer and Saliba Khamis, was one of the founders of The Freedom Theatre in Jenin Refugee Camp in 2006. All his life Juliano longed to fight against occupation using the arts as a model of social change.
The people in the camp condemn what happened and have called it "a coward's act"."
