Ata is the Head of Choreography & Training for El-Funoun Dance Troupe in Ramallah and we welcomed him as a mentee in February 2013 during the creative process of iTMOi. 9 weeks ago Ata was first arrested by the Israeli forces and has been detained without charge.

As each day passes we grow more and more concerned for Ata’s health and safety. We have joined a coalition to demand for his immediate release and we hope you can join us by adding your name to this petition.
