ISRAEL: Conscientious objector Haggai Matar received fourth prison term / birthday in prison


Conscientious objector Haggai Matar received a fourth prison term of 14 days yesterday, after already having three terms of 14, 28, and 56 days in prison. Yesterday was his 100th day in prison - and today, while we send out this co-alert - he is 'celebrating' his 19th birthday in Military Prison No 6. According to his mother, Haggai Matar's health and mood are very good.


At present, at least 8 conscientious objectors are in prison in Israel (see ISRAEL: Update on 12 imprisoned conscientious objectors and refuseniks, 22/01/03 -  http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/22012003a.html).
