The High Court of Justice on Sunday, 5 Adar I, rejected a request for an additional hearing filed by attorneys on behalf of two of the convicted Holyland case defendants; Meir Rabin and Danny Dankner. They also requested to delay beginning to serve their sentences, which was also denied.

As a result of the court�s decision, Meir Rabin and Dankner are heading to prison; Dankner for three years and Rabin for five years following the convictions. Rabin was known as the �Machar� in the Holyland dealings.

The two will have to report to prison on Monday, 6 Adar I along with the other defendants sentenced to prison, one being former PM Ehud Olmert.
