Israel condemned a Russian court's sentencing on Friday of a U.S.-Israeli woman to seven and a half years' imprisonment for a drug offence as "heavy" and "disproportionate", saying Moscow had ignored its appeals to handle the case differently.
A Foreign Ministry statement said Naama Issachar had no criminal record when she was detained while in transit in a Moscow airport en route to Israel. Russia's treatment of her was not "appropriate to the circumstances of her arrest", it said.
