Pollard's lawyers demand lifting of his parole restrictions

Four months ago, a US federal judge in New York ruled that the United States Parole Commission must explain why it has placed such broad, severe parole restrictions on Jonathan Pollard. The Commission has simply ignored the ruling, Pollard's attorneys say.

In a brief filed with the same judge to this effect, the lawyers - Jacques Semmelman and Eliot Lauer, who have provided Pollard free legal services for years - urge that the Commission now be ordered to lift all restrictions on Pollard.
