ISRAEL: Six new refuseniks imprisoned

War Resisters' International received information from Yesh Gvul today that six new refuseniks were imprisoned in Israel recently.

Lieut. Udi Elifantz (ISR13030), 31, was sentenced to 28 days on 30 July. Sgt. Ran Ron (ISR13031), 36, was sentenced to 28 days on 31 July. Both are serving their prison term in Military Prison No 6 (Athlit).

Rami Kaplan (ISR12329), Sgt. Shahar Ramah (ISR12332), Ro'i Barsai (ISR12331), and Sgt. Uri Shein (ISR12330) were sentenced on 6 August to 28 days imprisonment. All joined the petition to the Judge Adjutant General to be court-martialed properly, instead of sentenced on purely disciplinary grounds, on 23 July (see ISR12329 to 12334-240702), but it seems that this was refused, and they were sentenced on 6 August. They too are imprisoned in Military Prison No 6.
