| Protesters carry signs and hold up pictures of Jonathan Pollard during a demonstration calling for his release
outside the President's Residence in Jerusalem, during a meeting of
Israel's President Peres and a delegation of U.S. Republican
congressmen, on August 17, 2011. Pollard is a convicted Israeli spy and a
former United States Naval civilian intelligence analyst who received a
life sentence in 1987 on charges of spying on
the United States. The Israeli government has made
several requests for Pollard's release, all of them declined by US
authorities. |
