Conscientious objector Eran Aviv from Israel got his exemption from military service after spending 114 days behind bars.

Eran, 19, declared his conscientious objection in May 2021, stating his refusal to serve in the Israeli military due to his opposition to the occupation. Since his refusal, Eran has spent a total of 114 days in military prison in six separate terms. 

Read an interview with Eran and another conscientious objector, Shahar Peretz who is expected to be imprisoned again soon, here. 

WRI stands in solidarity with Eran Aviv, Shahar Peretz and all conscientious objectors in Israel.
