RAMALLAH, April 3 (JMCC) - Anat Kam, 23, an Israeli journalist, goes on trial this month on charges of treason and espionage for leaking classified military documents to another Israeli journalist, says The National.

Ms Kam was detained in December and is under house arrest, but a gag order imposed by the military has meant there has been little news of her detention, at least not in Israel.

Prosecutors are allegedly seeking a 14-year sentence for Ms Kam, although because of the media blackout, there has been no comment from the government or the military on the case.

The gag is unusual in that it not only bans the Israeli media from reporting the details of Ms Kam’s arrest, but it also imposes a complete blackout on the fact that she has been detained.
