An Israeli parole board is considering early release for an Israeli who killed a peace activist. The board Wednesday considered a request by prisoner Yonah Avrushmi to reduce the life sentence he received for killing peace activist Emil Grunzweig, who died when Avrushmi threw a hand grenade at a Peace Now demonstration in 1984, the newspaper Ha’aretz reported.
