                              Noam Kuzar sentenced 28 days in military
                              prison for his refusal to serve in Israeli Army
                              crackdown on Palestinians.

                    Noam Kuzar, a conscript in the IDF was sentenced today to 28
days in
                    military prison for refusing to participate in current IDF
operations to repress
                    the protest activity of Palestinians. When his unit was
informed of a change in
                    current training plans so as to reinforce IDF troops engaged
in putting down
                    the Palestinian revolt, Kuzar told his commanding officers
yesterday that he
                    could not in good conscience participate in such actions. He
simply refused to
                    get on the bus.
