Zygier was hanging for an hour - until his death was revealed

Ben Zygier, whose death was determined as having committed suicide in the shower in his cell using a wet sheet, hung for an hour until guards revealed his death. The "Yediot Aharonot" newspaper reports this morning.

"We failed in maintaining his life," a prison source admitted in a conversation with the newspaper.

In the meantime criticism is increasing in Australia against Israel over the prisoner X affair. Among other things, there were arguments against Taglit project, which brings young Australians to visit Israel.

Dr Ben Saul, professor of international law at the University of Sydney, said to some local news sites that "there comes a time where a Jew cannot be a true Australian and a true Israeli. He should choose."

He said Australian intelligence is not killing people and does not abuse the,, and that Australia has not occupied a foreign country and is not hiding nuclear facilities.

Zionist Federation of Australia condemned it. Federation President Philip Chester, said the allegations are harmful and baseless and that Israeli plans aim is to teach Jewish youth about their heritage and Israel today, and do not have anything to do with recruitment to intelligence organizations."

"Rumors, innuendo and speculation have gathered on the death of Zygier in prison, we must respect the privacy of the Zygier family, and our only hope is to enable them to deal with their loss without the continued penetration of their lives, escalating due to the many rumors and speculation and immense interest in the media."
