Jerusalem City Council to Dedicate Pollard Square (IMRA)
Excerpts;
On Monday, January 7, 2008 at 2:30 PM, the Jerusalem City Council, led by Representative Mina Fenton (NRP), has scheduled a renaming ceremony to take place at Kikar Pariz (Paris Square) in Jerusalem – a public square situated midway between the American Consulate and the Prime Minister’s Residence – to rename it in honor of Jonathan Pollard.
The name change to Freedom for Jonathan Pollard Square anticipates the
arrival of President George Bush in Israel (January 9, 2008) and marks the start of Jonathan Pollard’s 23 rd year in prison. The Jerusalem City Council declares that the name change will take effect immediately and remain in effect UNTIL Jonathan Pollard is released and returned to Israel.Members of the Jerusalem City Council, Jonathan Pollard’s wife Esther and other public figures will be in attendance. The ceremony is being arranged in coordination with the Jerusalem-based Committee to Bring Jonathan Pollard Home (HaVaad) and Justice4JP.
