ISRAEL: More conscientious objectors in prison


War Resisters' International learned about three more conscientious objectors who have been imprisoned in Israel recently, on top of those who were included in the last co-alert emails ( http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/07042003b.html and  http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/20030407a.html).


Yoel Perlman (ISR13225) is a pacifist. He sent an open letter to Shaul Mofaz, the Israeli Minister for Defence on April 3, 2003, declaring his conscientious objection. On 6 April, he went to the induction base and was sentenced to 28 days in Military Prison No 4. He is due out on 4 May 2003.


Yaron Beeri (ISR13226) was sentenced to 28 days in Military Prison No 4 on 7 April 2003, for refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. He is due out on 5 May.
