War Resisters’ International learned about three more conscientious
objectors who have been imprisoned in Israel recently, on top of those who
were included in the last co-alert emails
(http://wri-irg.org/news/htdocs/07042003b.html and

Yoel Perlman (ISR13225) is a pacifist. He sent an open letter to Shaul
Mofaz, the Israeli Minister for Defence on April 3, 2003, declaring his
conscientious objection. On 6 April, he went to the induction base and was
sentenced to 28 days in Military Prison No 4. He is due out on 4 May 2003.
Yaron Beeri (ISR13226) was sentenced to 28 days in Military Prison No 4 on
7 April 2003, for refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. He is due
