Lawyers say release unrelated to Mideast developments

Pollard’s lawyers say the decision to free Pollard was unanimous, and is not related to any other developments in the Middle East.

“The decision to grant parole was made unanimously by the three members of the (US) Parole Commission, who make their decisions independently of any other US government agency,” the lawyers say in a statement. “The decision is not connected to recent developments in the Middle East.”
