"Court Bars Road Protestor, Age 52, From Home"
"Esther Eliezer, a 52-year-old housewife from Netanyahu, has been freed from jail but ordered to remain on a distant kibbutz until her trial in September on charges of burning tires on a road."
""We took into account the danger to motorists so
we burned the first tire on the shoulder. We started to burn a second tire
when the police came," she explained."
"She was in jail for a month until the courts accepted her request to be
placed under house arrest in Kibbutz Rosh Tzurim, in Gush Etzion south of
Jerusalem. She had volunteered there when she moved to Israel from France
in 1963 and has friends there. The judge prohibited her from returning to
her husband and three children in Netanya because "the police and
prosecutor said I am an extremist and a danger to society," she said."
""Visitors are allowed for half an hour a day. My hearing was for 9 a.m.,
but the police forgot to take me. They came at 2 p.m. to take me, and I
showed them their mistake and that I wouldn't be in jail when my family
came to visit, but they didn't care. They said if I didn't listen to them
they would take me by force. Of course, there was no hearing, but my family
waited for me and I saw them when I returned.""
