"Former Hamas captive Gilad Shalit signed a petition urging President Shimon Peres to help free convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard from US prison, Ynet learned Thursday.

The petition links Pollard's plight to US President Barack Obama's announced intention to award Peres the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

During his speech at last month's AIPAC conference, Obama said that he chose to bestow Peres with the US' highest civilian honor over to his "embodiment of the values of dignity and freedom."

Since then, nearly 30,000 citizens signed a petition urging Peres to use the occasion to promote Pollard's release."
