en

On 3 August 2004, conscientious objector Danny Breutman (ISR11989) was sentenced to 21 days in Military Prison No 4 for refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. He is due to be released on 24 August 2004. Danny Breutman (36), married with two children, is a software engineer from Kibbutz Magal. In March and April 2002, during "Operation Defensive Shield", the "re-occupation" of the Occupied Territories in spring 2002, he already served two prison terms of 14 days each for the same "offence" (see http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/03042002a.html and http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/09042002b.html).

War Resisters' International calls for letters of protest to Israeli authorities, and Israeli embassies abroad. An email letter can be sent at http://www.wri-irg.org/co/alerts/20040805a.html.

War Resisters' International calls for the immediate release of Danny Breutman and all imprisoned conscientious objectors.
