Former police officer Amir Raz, who was convicted of murdering his wife Diana Dadbeev in February 2021 and sentenced to life imprisonment plus 6 years in prison, will be transferred in the coming days to the Torah wing of the Rimonim-Ofek prison in Sharon.
According to a report by Shimon Ifergan on the Mako website, Raz recently filed a petition with the Central Lod District Court against the Prison Service, demanding that he be transferred to a religious wing, after having been imprisoned in a prison in central Israel for the past five years. In the petition, he claimed that he was considered a positive prisoner, free of disciplinary offenses, and that there was no reason to prevent his transfer.
This is a form of easing the conditions of his imprisonment, as the Torah wing is considered more open, and the living conditions there are also better with regard to the food served there. A source familiar with the details told Mako: "Every prisoner dreams of being in the Torah wing. It is a wing with comfortable living conditions for prisoners and relatively easy compared to other wings in prisons that are considered much stricter.".
According to the report in 'Mako', intelligence officials at the Prison Service opposed the request - and a hearing on his petition was scheduled for yesterday. However, before the hearing, the representative of the government advisor on prisoner petitions revealed that Raz's request to be transferred to the religious wing of Rimonim-Ofek prison was approved, and in fact the hearing on the petition that was supposed to take place was unnecessary.
She attached Raz's assignment form to the Torah wing of the new prison to which he will be transferred.
