Former ’’Israeli’’ President Starts Seven Years Jail

Local Editor

Former "Israeli" president Moshe Katsav entered the "Maasiyahu" "Israeli" Prison Wednesday to begin serving a seven-year sentence for rape and other sexual offences.

Ahead of being jailed, Katsav spoke to reporters outside his home.

He claimed the documents that had been filed as part of his appeal, which was denied, contained testimonies that prove his innocence.

"One day you will understand that you buried a man alive. One day the truth will be revealed. That day will come. I don't know when - it will happen with our without me," he said, adding that "by sending him to prison "Israel" was executing him based on impressions - without testimonies or evidence."

In the interview with New York Times, Katsav also hinted at ethnic and class prejudice in the Zionist Entity: "The fact is that I am from a Muslim country and from a development town," he said.
