There is nothing 'alleged' about Pollard, he was tried, convicted and sentenced...


Israeli supporters of Jonathan Pollard, the American jailed as an Israeli spy, plan protests calling for his release ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit next month an organiser said on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem city council moved to award a medal to Pollard, who is serving a life sentence.

“We shall be staging protest vigils against Pollard’s imprisonment during the coming days, and holding press conferences and other events,” Effie Lahav, head of a committee demanding Pollard’s release, told Israeli public radio.

Israeli TV has said the White House fears mass protests during Obama’s March 20-22 visit, but Lahav did not specify if his group would be holding demonstrations then.

4. He pleaded guilty

in '86. So there was no need for a trial.
