Issachar thanked her family, who "led the fight and were there for a moment, and for those who took part in the unimaginable efforts to bring me back." In addition, she thanked the artists, athletes and public opinion leaders who participated in the fight, as well as social network activists and those who contributed to the mass mobilization campaign. "None of this would have happened without you," she added. "I'm lucky to have a circle of people who kept me that way while I didn't have the ability to do it myself. You brought me home."
The 26-year-old Issachar served a sentence of about 10 months in prison in the Russian prison after he was caught last April with 9.6 grams of cannabis at the Sharmiatsu airport, on his way back to India. She was sent to 7.5 years in prison, but at the end of last month Russian President Vladimir Putin granted her a pardon, and she returned to Israel on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plane with him, after the latter met with President Putin in Moscow. When she returned to her home on the streets, Naama said: "I'm still in the market from all the situation, but I admit everything."
