Prison reportedly rejects ex-president Katsav’s appeal for eased parole

The prison parole board reportedly denies a request to ease the parole conditions of former president and convicted rapist Moshe Katsav, who was released from prison last December after serving five years for rape and other sexual offenses.

The reasons given for rejecting the appeal are barred from publication, according to the Ynet news site.

In August, President Reuven Rivlin rejected a similar request from Katsav, citing the “nature of the crimes.”
