The planner of the mass massacre of Arabs asked to attend his mother's funeral - and was refused

The District Court rejected the request of Shachar Nevo, a mathematics lecturer accused of planning the murder of hundreds of Arabs, to attend his mother's funeral. The judge accepted the position of the Israel Prison Service, which opposed the request due to intelligence information indicating risks to Nevo's life.

The District Court rejected the request of Shachar Nevo, a mathematics lecturer accused of planning the murder of hundreds of Arabs, to attend his mother's funeral. The judge accepted the position of the Israel Prison Service, which opposed the request due to intelligence information indicating risks to Nevo's life. The decision noted that although this is an exceptional family event, security considerations prevail. The Prison Service presented two proposals to allow his release, but determined that neither provides an adequate response to the risks.
