Russian hacker: I'm also in prison because of political games

Russian hacker Alexei Burkov, who is imprisoned in Israel and whose case has been linked to the arrest of Israeli citizen Naama Issachar, spoke on Sunday with Channel 13 News from prison.

"I strengthen Naama and her family - me and my family are in the same situation. Like her, I am also held in prison as a result of political games,” said Burkov.
