Knesset amends bill for early prison release to exclude security prisoners
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Knesset passes in its second and third readings of a bill aimed at relieving pressure in overcrowded prisons by allowing the early release of certain convicts.
An original draft of the bill would have also affected security prisoners. The bill has since been altered to exclude them, after media reports noted this would mean some 300 prisoners serving time for terrorism and other security-related crimes would be freed several months early.
