Eldad Asks Mazuz to Call Off 'Pursuit' of Right-Wingers
(IsraelNN.com) MK Aryeh Eldad (NU-NRP) accused Israel's judicial branch Thursday of persecuting three right-wing activists currently in Israeli jails and called on Attorney General Menachem Mazuz to call off what he described as a "pursuit."
Eldad visited Mordechai and Elitzur Levenstein, incarcerated at the Ayalon Prison for protesting the 2005 Gaza Disengagement Plan, and with 18-year-old Tzvia Sariel, imprisoned at the Neve Tirtza Women's Prison for allegedly throwing a rock at local Arabs near her home in Elon Moreh. Following the visit he had harsh words for the judicial establishment.
"It is not a crime in Israel not to recognize the authority of the court. But the state prosecutor's office and the courts strike a severe blow to the principles of natural justice in order to break their spirits (of potential anti-government protesters – ed.) and to discourage others from taking part in the struggle for the Land of Israel. A country that has to jail a young lady while an investigation against her is still underway is a country that blatantly violates the most basic of human rights."
