We call on the President to pardon and release Jonathan Pollard who has been in prison for 25 years and is sentenced to life. He has already served over 6 times the average sentence for people convicted of a similar offense, which is usually about two to four years.
Pollard was a US Naval intelligence analyst who passed information to Israel, an American ally, about its own self-defense.
His ludicrously extended sentence has been shown to be the product of prejudice by Robert McFarlane, the national security adviser at the time:
"Based on my first-hand knowledge, I can say with confidence that the severity of Pollard's sentence is a result of an almost visceral dislike of Israel..."
Pollard's health has been declining. Free him before its too late. This has gone on far too long.
