AG orders police minister to enforce new prostitution law
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAttorney General Avichai Mandelblit is ordering Public Security Minister Amir Ohana to sign an order to enforce a new law criminalizing the procuring of prostitution services, Channel 12 reports.
The law officially went into effect in July, but Ohana — whose office oversees police — has refused to sign an enforcement order, citing the lack of rehabilitation and welfare services for prostitutes.
The Justice Ministry warns him, however, of “significant legal difficulties” in his refusal.
