Israel denies entry to Muslim wife of Jewish Iranian immigrant

by Haitham Sabbah on 04/17/2007

Israel has refused entry to the Muslim wife of a Jewish immigrant from Iran. The wife is currently in Turkey but could be sent back to Iran within days, where she is likely to be severely punished.

The immigrant, Puriya Hajaram on Thursday appealed to Haaretz for help in bringing his wife to Israel. "I was told before coming that I would get help here. Otherwise I wouldn't have come alone," he said.

This is what 'democracy' in Israel means.
