The Tel Aviv District Court on Monday heard a petition by Nahum Manbar, who is serving a 16-year prison sentence for selling potentially harmful information to an enemy state, asking he be allowed to apply for early parole.
Manbar claims he has paid his debt to society: "I've been allowed to go on sanctioned vacations from prison for the past seven years so obviously, I'm not that dangerous," he told the court. "I'm 62 years old and I want to start a family." (Vered Luvitch)
