Minister recommends pardon for vet with PTSD jailed for growing own weed
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked submits a pardon recommendation to President Reuven Rivlin for an IDF veteran who served in the First Lebanon War in 1982 and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.
The soldier was jailed for growing his own marijuana to treat the condition.
“There is no better day than today — toward the end of Memorial Day as we enter Independence Day — to convey a message of encouragement, rehabilitation and strengthening to those who fought in Israel’s wars and for years suffered from PTSD and became involved in criminal activity,” Shaked says in a statement.
