An Israeli court on Wednesday ordered an extreme right-wing activist convicted of distributing anti-Islamic materials back to jail for violating her parole. Tatyana Suskin, who was found guilty two years ago of distributing leaflets in Hebron that portrayed the Islamic prophet Mohammed as a pig, was sentenced to 24 months in jail, one third of which had been commuted for good behavior. She was ordered to return to jail for the final eight months of her sentence after the court ruled that she had left the Tel Aviv area at least six times in violation of her parole terms.
