      Activists to Bodily Prevent Jailing of Halamish Bro's


      Various activist groups have joined together to declare their intention to bodily prevent the jailing of two first-response team members, Danny and Itzik Halamish (click here for an interview with Danny and here for more background information).

      Posters plastered all over the Jerusalem region call upon the public to appear next Thursday (April 10) at 9:30 AM at the police station in Jerusalem’s Russian Compound – where the brothers are required to turn themselves in to begin their prison sentences.

      Organizers say they are quite serious about preventing the Halamish brothers from being jailed. Organizations participating include the Yesha Rabbis’ Council, Honenu Legal Aid organization, Women in Green, Land of Israel Loyalists, Land of Israel Youth, Homesh First, the Committee to Save the Nation and the Land, Manhigut Yehudit, Mateh Tzafon, Nahalal Forum, V’yirashtem Otah, Pidion Shvuyim and the Action Committees of Efrat, Gush Etzion, Kiryat Arba and Hevron.
