ISRAEL: Third prison term for woman CO Hadas Amit

Israeli conscientious objector Hadis Amit (ISR14913, see previous alerts on 18.12.06 and 02.01.07), a 19 years' old woman CO, was given a third, consecutive prison term of 14 days on 9 January 2007, the same day she came out of prison. In addition, she was given 7 days of probation, which are likely to be added to her next prison term. She is due to be released from prison on 23 January 2007.

Friends and supporters of Hadas Amit learned during her first term in prison, that the prison authorities blocked mail from reaching her. Emails of support can be sent to eviv99@gmail.com, and will be printed out and delivered to her on a family visit.
