President Rivlin has decided to grant a reprieve to Dalal Daud, convicted to life imprisonment for the murder of her husband.

In accordance with the president's decision, Daud will be able to stand before a parole board in the near future to be considered for early release under supervision and surveillance of the welfare authorities, and she will not have to wait until the end of the year.

Daud was convicted in 2002 of the murder of her husband and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The documents presented to the president regarding Delal portray a woman who suffered for many years from severe and continued violence from her husband.

"In these circumstances and in view of the significant and prolonged treatment procedures undergone by Delal Daud from the Prison Service, the president decided to grant her a reprieve," said a statement by the President's House.
