Israeli spy Pollard wins further review of US parole conditions
None
A US judge on Monday ordered a federal commission to provide further justification for subjecting former Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard to restrictive probation conditions following his release last month from prison after 30 years.
US District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan said the US Parole Commission had provided little basis to justify why Pollard must wear an electronic bracelet and submit to monitoring of his work computer.
"If there is secret information Jonathan Pollard could disclose, then restrictive conditions could be necessary," Forrest said.
But if he does not, Forrest said, his conditions may need to be modified. Forrest called her decision to send Pollard's case back to the commission for further review "the first step, and I think this is the right step."
