Conscientious objector Mattan Helman in Israel has been imprisoned for a second time for his refusal to be conscripted.

Mattan, 20, from Kibbutz Haogen, is in Military Prison 6, in jail this time for 20 days.

Just before his first imprisonment Mattan wrote:

"I know I'll remember this day all my life. I will remember it not for being imprisoned, but for being the day in which I mark my freedom".
