Abstract: 

The Israeli Justice Minister Amir Ohana said he hoped United States authorities would intervene on behalf of Na’ama Issachar, 26, who was sentenced to 7 and a half years in Russia after one-third of an ounce of hashish was found in her luggage when she was transiting in the Moscow airport from India to Tel Aviv on April 10.[1] Israeli President Reuven Rivlin appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin concerning Issachar, asking that she be released from prison in Russia.[2]
