War Refusenik Ella Keidar Greenberg has been finally released from military service after two months in jail. “I received an exemption from the army. My incarceration was difficult. For most of it, I was locked alone in a cell for 21 hours a day, almost fully isolated from the other prisoners,” she said.
According to Keidar, “Under international law, solitary confinement is considered torture and prohibited, but we all know how much the army cares about international law. My imprisonment wasn’t easy, but I passed it thanks to the support of my family, my friends, the lawyers who aided me, the Mesarvot Network, my comrades in the Communist Young League, and everyone who wrote me a letter from the outside.” “Now, I am free and I will continue, and we will continue to struggle against apartheid, the genocide in Gaza, and for a safe and free future for us all.”
