JONATHAN POLLARD IS FREE: Longtime prisoner Jonathan Pollard left the Federal Correction Complex in Butner, North Carolina, after 30 years of being held on espionage charges, his wife Esther announced at 11 a.m. Friday, 20 Nov. 2015. Esther and a number of Pollard's closest confidantes were waiting to greet Pollard as he first tasted freedom; from there they set off for New York to begin their lives anew. In New York, a probation officer will be assigned to Pollard by the USA Department of Justice, and will inspect to make sure the 61-year-old stays within all of the limitations placed on him. Any excursion beyond the immediate area of his residence will require the approval of the probation officer. He will likewise be forbidden from flying to Israel. Pollard, who was arrested on charges of spying for the Jewish state in 1985 was later sentenced to life in prison. He has been suffering from poor health and has become the subject of a high-profile campaign for his release. Once Pollard's release was granted, controversy remained over the conditions of his parole, after Obama refused to intervene to allow him to return home to Israel before a 5-year limit has expired. (Arutz-7) Pollard was imprisoned for 30 years for having passed information to Israel about terrorist activity. His prison term has been viewed by many as glaringly harsh. He was sentenced to life in prison on one charge of passing classified information to a friendly nation, a crime generally punished with a 2 to 4-year prison term. Please pray for Pollard’s health, which is deteriorating. Pray for his adjustment to a new life after decades of being in prison. Seven of those years were spent in excruciating solitary confinement. Intercede also, that Pollard and his wife may be able to make their home in Israel soon, in spite of the present 5-year limit, preventing him from leaving the USA.
