Yaffa Issachar has expressed outrage over not being allowed to visit her daughter Naama in a Russian prison, despite a Russian judge's decision to allow the visit.
Naama is being held for nine grams of marijuana found in her bags at a Moscow airport. There have been reports she could have been exchanged for a Russian computer hacker whom Israel has agreed to extradite to the United States. Yaffa Issachar said, "Naama is innocent and is paying a heavy price for Israel's political decision. Naama is not a bargaining chip between states."
