Rabin's Assassin Appeals Prison Service Denial of Leave to See Sick Father

Yigal Amir, the assassin of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, has filed a petition with the court against the Prison Service (Shabas) and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The legal action follows Shabas's refusal to grant Amir special leave from prison to visit his ailing father at home in Herzliya.

According to a report by Galei Tzahal (Army Radio), Amir requested the special furlough to be with his father, but his request was denied. Shabas reportedly cited Amir's "dangerousness, the position of intelligence and security officials" as reasons for the refusal.

Amir's petition challenges this decision, seeking to overturn the denial of his leave request. The filing comes less than a week before the 31st anniversary of Prime Minister Rabin's assassination.
