The Israel Prison Service has ordered an unusual change to Yigal Amir's restraint policy, now requiring him to be shackled by his legs at all times while in prison, according to a report from Yedioth Ahronoth.
The Israel Prison Service ordered an additional tightening of security measures for Yigal Amir, the convicted assassin of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. As of Tuesday evening, Amir will be restrained by the legs throughout his incarceration, on top of existing restraints. As The Zioneer reported minutes earlier, the decision is described as 'unusual' and marks a further escalation in the conditions of the prisoner, who has been serving a life sentence since 1995. The source is a single report from Yedioth Ahronoth; the specific reason for the new measure has not been disclosed.
