More on the prisoner release
"The High Court rejected without explanation a petition against the release last night.
The authorities have taken the time to distribute the prisoners to drop-off points near their homes."
"The Legal Institute for the Study of Terrorism petitioned the Supreme Court against the release, but was turned down. The Almagor Terror Victims Association also tried to stay the release, turning to the Prime Minister, the Attorney General and the Ministers of Public Security, Justice and Security.
Both organizations maintain that the terrorists to be released do not meet the criteria stipulated by the Cabinet itself. "Many of them are terrorists convicted of severe crimes," Almagor said, "who received light sentences, in keeping with the policy of recent years. Now they're leaving prison without even having served 2/3 of their time, as the release policy guidelines dictate, and sometimes not even half. There are even some who served only 10% of their sentences.""
Here`s the whole piece.
