For those of you who remember the ongoing campaign to free Bat-El from a Bulgarian prison after she and her friends were tricked into taking a suitcase full of items legal in Israel (but problematic in Bulgaria) to Bulgaria, here is a campaign to help free one of the other girls in the group, Bat-El's friend Rivka Zuaretz.

Hello, my name is Tali Zuaretz. It is with tremendous pain & fear that I come to you to beg for your help in freeing our beloved daughter Rivka from jail.
Rivka travelled with friends to Europe and was tricked into travelling with something that is legal in Israel but illegal where she went.
She was arrested at the airport and the prosecution are seeking 15 years in prison. She is only 22 years old and now her life is in danger.
We have done absolutely everything we can to get her home: We hired a lawyer who specializes in this kind of case and the expenses have been far, far more than we can afford.
I am a cook, my husband Ziv is a teacher. We are just a regular family – we never thought anything like this could ever happen to us.
They are keeping Rivka in a horrible, horrible place, surrounded by violent criminals. They know she is Israeli & Jewish and they hate her for it.
She calls me from the jail crying with fear and I have no way to honestly tell her that she can come home soon.
She is just a sweet young girl from a religious family, who made a silly mistake in trusting someone who was deceiving her, and who now is being tormented for it.
This is truly a case of pidyon shvuyim [redeeming captives].
We are begging you to help us bring our daughter home, to help us to afford the legal expenses so that she can come out of jail, and in the meantime to afford to at least bring her kosher food. We have nothing left.
If we can find 400 people to step in and give $480, we will have what we need to save our daughter's life.
Thank you
The Zuaretzes
