Since the prison authorities often block mail from reaching imprisoned objectors, we also recommend you to send your letters of support and encouragement to the imprisoned (and otherwise detained) objectors via e-mail to shministim@gmail.com, and they will be printed out and delivered to them during visits.

Yuval joins Tamar Katz and Raz Bar-David Varon, who are held in the military prison for women. To the best of our knowledge there have been no developments re the conditions in which Tamar Katz is held.
