UPDATE: NAAMA’S MOTHER AT THE PRISON . . . WAITING (we are all waiting)

Yaffa Issachar, mother of Israeli citizen Naama Issachar who is serving a drug sentence at Moscow region's penal colony IK-1 located in the village of Novoye Grishino, arrived to visit her daughter at the correctional facility on Tuesday after Moscow region's governor Andrei Vorobyev signed Naama's pardon request.

Naama Issachar's mother, Yaffa, responded this evening to the pardon Russian President Vladimir Putin signed to release her daughter Wednesday.

"This is a moment I have been waiting for almost a year. I have been on a long journey that I do not wish anyone to go through. At the moment all I want is to hug my daughter Naama," Yaffa said.

Putin signed the pardon after a Russian parole commission recommended Issachar’s request be granted on Monday.

A day later, the governor of the Moscow Oblast, Andrey Yuryevich Vorobyov, signed off on Issachar’s pardon request, sending it to President Putin for final approval. INN
