A PROTEST will be held outside a military prison in Israel on Saturday to demand the release of three military refuseniks.

Crowds will gather in support of the trio — Eran Aviv, Shachar Perez and Communist Party of Israel member Orem Feld — at Tzedek prison, near the city of Netanya, at 4pm.

Mr Feld, who is the Hadash party’s Jerusalem branch secretary, was sentenced to 14 days behind bars earlier this week after refusing to serve for the occupying forces.
