Jewish prisoners serving sentences in Argentine jails for minor contraventions of the law will be provisionally released for the New Year and Day of Atonement holy days, it was announced yesterday.
Inspector General Miguel Gamboa, head of the Argentine police, announced the action, which he said conformed to President Peron’s policy of respecting religious rights, after a delegation representing the Jewish Community had requested it. The delegation was composed of Jacobo Bronfman, vice-president of the DAIA, and Dr. Moises Goldmann, president of the Buenos Aires Jewish community.
