Lawmakers from United Torah Judaism and Shas visited Prison 10 on Sunday afternoon to support Haredi men imprisoned for evading military service, according to reports.
A delegation of Knesset members from United Torah Judaism and Shas visited Prison 10 on Sunday afternoon to encourage Haredi inmates held for evading military conscription. The visit follows a series of similar trips by Shas lawmakers to the same facility in recent weeks, as The Zioneer reported. MKs from the Haredi parties have repeatedly visited the military prison to offer moral support to yeshiva students who refused or avoided service, amid an ongoing public controversy over military conscription for the ultra-Orthodox community. The identity of the specific MKs who took part Sunday was not immediately confirmed in the brief reports.
