According to Channel 11 News, Issachar was reportedly unable to take any personal possessions with her and was not given any warm clothing. Her mother is reportedly unable to visit her, and Issachar is not permitted to receive mail.
According to Issachar's lawyer, who had been allowed to visit her, the detention conditions in the new prison are worse than in the previous one. The lawyer said that she was told that Russian authorities plan to move Issachar again next week, but she was not told where. The current transfer decision will be appealed, the lawyer said.
Issachar's family fears that she may be moved to a Siberian prison, to which access is even more restricted.
Earlier, Issachar tried to appeal her 7.5-year sentence, saying that the 9.5 grams of cannabis she allegedly carried in her bag while landing in Moscow for a connection flight to Tel Aviv could have been planted on her.
She also slammed other alleged irregularities in the case, saying that the Russian authorities forced her to sign documents in Russian, without a translation.
The court upheld her sentence, prompting Benjamin Netanyahu to pledge to bring Issachar back home.
