Prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassin, Yigal Amir. (Olivier Fitoussi/BauBau) Last update - 17:21 23/10/2007 Rightists to launch campaign to free Rabin assassin Yigal Amir By Haaretz Service Tags: Rabin, Israel, release  A rightwing group plans to launch a campaign next week calling for the release of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassin, Yigal Amir, Army Radio reported Thursday. Residents of the Tel Aviv area and southern Sharon region largely identified with Israel's left are expected to receive pamphlets from the group emblazoned with doves and olive branches calling for Amir's release. "A time for peace, a time for reconciliation -it's about time to release Yigal Amir," the pamphlets will read. Advertisement Campaign organizers will cite instances like the shortening of the sentences of the Israeli Arab killers of Jewish youth Danny Katz and the talk of freeing Fatah militant Marwan Barghouti from prison, saying Amir should be treated equally. A reportedly costly video clip said to be featuring a number of public figures in support of Amir's release is currently in the making. The assassination took place on November 4th, 1995 at the end of a peace rally in Tel Aviv. Yigal Amir fired three shots at Rabin, fatally wounding the then prime minister Bookmark to del.icio.us   Love story Israel grants permission for gay Palestinian to join lover in Tel Aviv.
