EJJP Deutschland Bitte unterschreibt
die Solidaritätserklärung gegen das gestern festgesetzte Strafmaß für die 5
couragierten Gewissensverweigerer in Israel.
http://www.refuz.org.il
Liebe Freunde und Freundinnen,
gestern, am Sonntag, den 4. Januar 2004 verkündete das
zentrale Militargericht der IDF (Israel Defence Forces) das Strafmaß gegen
die fünf Gewissensverweigerer: Noam Bahat, Hagai Matar, Adam Maor,Shimri
Tsameret und Matan Kaminer wurden zu einem Jahr Gefängnis verurteilt."
Die Strafe beläuft sich de facto auf ein zweites Jahr im
Gefängnis, da die Fünf bereits seit ca. einem Jahr unter Arrest stehen. Das
Gericht empfahl der Armee nach Ablauf des Jahres ihre Entlassung aus dem
Militär zu erwägen. Der Ankläger erklärte jedoch, dass die IDF in einem Jahr
die Fünf erneut auffordern wird, sich dem Militärdienst zu stellen oder
einem weiteren Gefängnisaufenthalt entgegen zu sehen. (sic!!! FMR)
Bitte nehmen Sie sich/nehmt Euch die Zeit, die
Solidaritätserklärung in der Site des Elternforums
http://www.refuz.org.il
zu unterschreiben. Bitte versäumt nicht die Aussagen der 5 dort zu lesen.
Und, falls Ihr mögt ... dankt ihnen allen: den fünf
couragierten Gewissensverweiterern, ihren Eltern, ihren Großeltern und all
ihren Freunden.

1. Short Summary
The Central District Military Court of the
Israel Defence Forces sentenced the five refusenicks, Noam Bahat, Hagai
Matar, Adam Maor, Shimri Tsameret and Matan Kaminer to one year in jail for
refusing to join the army in occupation.
The court declared that the actions of the
five put a question mark over the justice and the morality of the army's actions
and challenge the legitimacy of the state's behavior. In an impromptu press
conference attended by tens of journalists, the refusenicks declared, that this
was indeed their intention and that they are proud of their actions and that
they will continue to challenge the occupation until it ends.
Today's sentence is actually for a second year
of imprisonment, since the five have already been under detention for
approximately a year. The court recommended that, after the year, the army
consider their discharge, but the prosecutor stated that after a year the IDF
will demand that they be mobilized or face additional jail time. The sentence
was read out before a jam-packed courtroom filled with families of the
defendants, supporters and representatives of the media. A crowd of more than a
hundred composed of mainly young people crowded the entrance to the court
building and greeted the refusenicks with cheers of support and encouragement.
This battle is very far from being over!

Dear Sir,
I was appalled to hear about the draconian sentence that was meted out to the
five conscientious objectors, Adam, Noam, Haggai, Matan, and Shimri.
These young men have been sentenced to a year
in military prison in addition to already having been imprisoned for over a
year. In the past 30 years, no country priding itself as a democracy has handed
out such a severe punishment to conscientious objectors.
These 5 CO's were found to be guilty for
(daring to declare) their opposition to Israel's policy of occupation in the
territories. The decision to incur upon them such a harsh sentence is
politically motivated and therefore unjustifiable.
In the past, you, yourself, have spoken out on the need for a framework to allow
civilian service for young Israeli citizens. THIS IS ALL THAT THESE YOUNG MEN
ARE REQUESTING.
In your hands lies the authority to allow or
disallow the carrying out of the sentence. I ask you to nullify the decision of
the military court and thereby prevent this gross miscarriage of justice.
undersigned ...
3. Yesh Gvoul demo on January 10th
Dear friend,
An Israeli military court has handed down
one-year prison sentences on draft-resisters Haggai Matar, Amir Kaminer, Shimri
Zameret, Adam Maor and Noam Bahat, over their refusal to enlist in "the army of
occupation". The sentence comes on top of a year and more of pre-trial
detention.
A military justice system that has remained
indifferent to hundreds of incidents of injury and killing of unarmed
Palestinian civilians, now proves its dedication to the rule of law by its
savage treatment of five youngsters for the "offence" of remaining true to
conscience and refusing to take a hand in the bloody campaign of repression.
WE WILL PROTEST THE SENTENCE BY A SOLIDARITY
VIGIL AT THE MILITARY PRISON No.6 (ATHLIT) ON SATURDAY JAN. 10. AT 12:30
JOIN US!
We urge our friends and supporters in other
countries to join in with solidarity actions!
