Justice minister inks first Independence Day pardon recommendations
None
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked has signed the first pardon recommendations for Independence Day. Recommendations will be forwarded to President Reuven Rivlin for review.
Among the recommendations signed by Shaked is a proposal to pardon a combat soldier who served in the first Lebanon War and who suffers from PTSD, who is incarcerated for growing cannabis for personal use.
"There's no better day to send a message of encouraging rehabilitation for those who have fought in Israel's wars," the minister commented.
