Dear Avigdor Lieberman,
Atalya Ben-Abba has been imprisoned for her refusal to join the Israeli military.
Atalya Ben-Abba refuses to enlist in the Israeli Army based on beliefs and conscience. She claims her human right to conscientious objection, as guaranteed by Article 18 of the ICCPR. In a decision from January 2007, the United Nations Human Rights Committee recognised the right to conscientious objection as a legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, as guaranteed by Article 18 ICCPR.

Das Netzwerk Mesarvot unterstützt Militärdienstverweigerer, die aus Gewissensgründen und aus politischen Gründen heraus handeln. Das Netzwerk rief den 1. Dezember als internationalen Aktionstag aus, der die Verweigerer unterstützen soll.
