New Right Chairwoman MK Ayelet Shaked responded to Russia's decision to sentence Naama Issachar (26) to 7.5 years in prison. The Israeli was arrested in Moscow four months ago and convicted of smuggling 9.5 grams of cannabis.
''The punishment Naama Issachar received was disproportionate to the offense. I expect the Russian judiciary to do justice in the appeal stage. In my opinion, the Prime Minister is working to solve the problem with the highest echelons in Russia. I wish Naama and her family to come home safely and soon," Shaked said.
