Rabin's killer to remain in isolation until July

The Petah Tikva District Court has ruled that the former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's murderer, Yigal Amir, is to be held in isolation at least until July.

In December the Supreme Court rejected Amir's appeal against the district court's decision to continue to hold him in isolated quarters. The Supreme Court did assert, however, that Amir should be allowed to interact with other prisoners for short periods of time under supervision for prayer sessions. (Naama Cohen-Friedman)
