Eri Jabotinsky, who was arrested on Wednesday, when he reached the Palestine border after having been expelled from Turkey, was released yesterday. He will be obliged to reside in Haifa and to report his movements to the police.
Jabotinsky was deported from Turkey, where he was a representative of the American Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe, reportedly as a result of pressure by the British Government. He was refused re-admission to the United States where he had resided for several years before leaving for Turkey, although his mission had been approved by the War Refugee Board.
The police announced today that 31 Jewish terrorist suspects have been released from the Latrum detention camp, where several hundred are being held.
