An Israeli Supreme Court decision to extradite an alleged Russian hacker to the US has thrown into question the fate of an Israeli-American woman in Russian custody.
"About a week ago, I visited Naama after not being allowed to visit her for weeks. The conversation between us was between glass and I couldn't hug her," she said."The whole time Naama cried and told me, 'Mom I'm not a criminal. I did not commit any offense. I have to get out of here because I don't belong here. I cannot serve as a political hostage because I will not last.
Bolstering concerns that Issachar is being held as political leverage is another case from over the summer involving an American student arrested in the Saint Petersburg airport with medically issued marijuana from the U.S. The student was ultimately released with a fine and deported. "Naama will not be a pawn by the Russian hacker and his people," Yaffa Issachar said in a statement."I pray that I will not aggravate Naama's situation in the Russian prison and give full confidence to the president and the prime minister to continue working with the Russian president to bring Naama's immediate release.
