Israel: Second Imprisonment of Conscientious Objector Shir Regev
(26.03.2010) War Resisters’ International has been informed today by its Israeli affiliate New Profile about the repeated imprisonment of conscientious objector Shir Regev. Shir Regev, 20, from the village of Tuval in the North of Israel, an anarchist and anti-Occupation activist, has began serving his second prison term (10 days) on 24 March. Shir Regev chose not to show up at the Induction Base on his intended enlistment date, and was later arrested and sentenced to 20 days in prison on 2 March (at that point he did not yet authorise publicising his case, which is why it is only reporting now). He is presently held in Military Prison no. 6 near Athlit.
