Three yeshiva bochurim who were arrested on Route 90 this week and handed over to the Military Police were sentenced on Wednesday to 20 days of detention each and transferred to a military prison. They are talmidim of Yeshivas Tiferes Yonasan Yehoshua in Yerushalayim. After deductions, they are expected to serve 16 days. Their attorney is expected to file an appeal against the length of the sentence. The Rosh Yeshiva, HaRav Yisrael Meir Zvichi, condemned the arrests, warned against allowing them to become routine, and charged that they were meant to pressure the Chareidi parties in the coalition talks.
