Knesset C'tee to Debate Peres' Leniency to Murderers

(IsraelNN.com) Seven members of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee have signed a request for a special, urgent debate on the subject of President Peres' decision to make it possible for the convicted murderers of a Jewish Israeli child to go free after serving two thirds of their sentences.

A request by at least one third of the committee's members is necessary for convening a debate during the Knesset's recess. The move was initiated by MK Gidon Saar (Likud).
