ISRAEL: Conscientious objector Uri Natan sentenced to second prison term

Israeli conscientious objector Uri Natan (ISR14762) was sentenced to his second prison term of 21 days on 6 October 2005. He presented himself at the national conscription center and announced his refusal to be enlisted for regular mandatory service in the IDF. He had received a first prison term of 7 days - unusually low - on 28 September 2005 (see co-alert, 30 September 2005, http://wri-irg.org/news/alerts/msg00043.html).
Shaul Mograbi-Berger (ISR14754) is still serving his third prison term (14 days, sentenced on 28 September 2005). The two conscientious objectors Alex Kohn (ISR14726 - eight prison terms) and Orwa Zidan (ISR14753 - three prison terms) were released recently, but are likely to be imprisoned again.

War Resisters' International calls for letters of protest to the Israeli authorities, and Israeli embassies abroad. An email letter can be sent at http://www.wri-irg.org/co/alerts/20051007a.html.

War Resisters' International calls for the immediate release of conscientious objectors Shaul Mograbi-Berger, and Uri Natan, and an end to the repeated imprisoned conscientious objectors.
