Margalit Har-Shefi has been in prison for five days of her nine-month sentence, and her supporters have not given up their campaign demanding a pardon. The fourth consecutive weekly protest vigil for Margalit was held outside the President\'s Residence in Jerusalem this morning, under the theme, \"We Believe Margalit!\" and insisting that the President grant her pardon request. Margalit Har-Shefi was convicted of not preventing the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin. Daily vigils will be held outside the President\'s Residence every morning, until further notice.



A Presidential pardon can be issued only if the Justice Minister recommends it. Justice Minister Meir Shetreet has related to the matter only by saying that he will not unduly delay or hurry the request; he can be faxed at (+972-2) 628-5438.
