CO Watch: Hadas Amit Wins Her Exemption

We reported on March 4 (click <here>) about Israeli Conscientious Objector Hadas Amit’s campaign to be exempted from military service in the Israel Defense Forces.

After serving five terms in prison for conscientious objection to war and military service, Tal Hayoun, of New Profile, reports that on May 28 Amit finally received her official exemption on grounds of “unsuitability.”
