News in inglese su obiettori israeliani



9 Mar. 2002.

Dear friends,

In this update we report on one objector imprisoned and two released:


1. OBJECTOR AMNON SAGIV IMPRISONED

Several days ago, Amnon Sagiv, 29, of Moshav Ganot, has been sentenced to 28
days' detention for refusing service in Nablus. Sagiv, married, a programme
engineer, serves with an artillery unit. He is the fourth among the
signatories of the "Letter of the Officers" to be imprisoned since the
letter was published.

His prison address is:

Capt. Amnon Sagiv
Military Prison No. 6
Military postal code 03734
IDF
Israel

You can send him letters of support through the signers' website by filling

2. OBJECTORS HAGGAI REGEV AND AMIT GAL RELEASED

Objector Haggai Regev finished his prison term this Monday (4 Mar.) and was
released from prison.

Objector Amit Gal was released from prison prematurely earlier this week,
after completing one quarter of his original 28-day sentence. A senior
military officer decided to commute his sentence, following an appeal from
Amit's mother (and it is quite possible that your pressure also helped).

In both cases, there is no danger of further imprisonment for the time
being.


All the best and thanks,
