The young married Chabad woman arrested by military police remains imprisoned at this time, Wednesday afternoon. ‘D’ was arrested on Monday as she tried to retroactively arrange affairs vis-à-vis military service, something she neglected to do as a teenager. Today, a married frum woman, military police felt compelled to immediately lock her up for her offence, sending her to Prison 4 where she remains, on a hunger strike.
The Kiryat Malachi resident now reports she is being “abused”, explaining to her husband they have a shackle attacked to her leg. Her husband questions why the shackle, since she is inside the prison and there is nowhere for her to run.
Some of the askanim working to get ‘D’ released feel this is an intentional act against a frum woman, citing that regardless of her nonfeasance as a teenager, failing to sign forms stating she is a frum woman and therefore not serving in the military, today, she is married and by all accounts is not required to serve.
Hence, the abuse of this young frum chareidi woman appears to be a brazen effort towards sending a clear message to the chareidi tzibur at the expense of this young woman.

In most countries, oppressed minorities are routinely arrested on trumped up charges that in normal democratic countries with a tradition of rule of law would not result in arrest. Let’s be honest, Torah Jews have a status in the zionist state similar to what Blacks had in the (southern) United States under Jim Crow – we are the n*ggers of Eretz Yisrael. The difference is that in America, the ruling classes forced the racists to give up (at gunpoint) – in Eretz Yisrael no one is going to come in and save us. We must rely on Ha-Shem, and whatever we can do for ourselves.
The same message has been sent for the past 64 years; we can not trust the Chilloni establishment for anything. Their promises are worthless and they have not abandoned their goal of destroying the Jewish people.
As much as I sympathize with this young woman she broke the law and this cannot go unpunished. Perhaps a fine of doing some community service would have been more appropriate.
