Ezra's trial postponed

Ezra's trial postponed to August 16th, at 8:30 am.

Ezra would like to thank all of you that supported him in various ways, and gave him the courage to continue his important activity.

More than 70 people gathered outside the courthouse today to support Ezra in his sentencing.

Only a few of us managed to get in. At first, Ezra requested that everyone be permitted to enter and that the sentencing will take place in a larger hall, but his request was denied, and therefore the hearing did not start on time. As a result, the judge decided to postpone the sentencing to August 16, 8.30 AM.

When told about the amount of letters sent on behalf of Ezra (more than 15,000 signatories through the Jewish Voice for Peace campaign -- we brought a stack of 100 papers with a list of names), the judge said, "Wow, that much..."

Ezra's lawyer, Lea Tzemel, is convinced that the international campaign has a positive impact on the case. Please continue to spread the word, tell your friends and family to sign the letters in the campaign JVP is running (http://www.freeezra.org).

Thank you,

The Committee Supporting Ezra Nawi
