Mandelblit: The right to demonstrate is a basic right in a democracy
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit defends demonstrations as a “basic right in a democracy that no one can dispute.”
At the Bar Association conference in Tel Aviv, Mandelblit says the corruption investigations into Netanyahu were being coordinated with police and that “the only considerations are the evidence and public interest. If there is sufficient basis for an indictment, it will be filed, if not, it will be shelved.”
In recent weeks, hundreds of of protesters gathered in front of Mandelblit’s home on Saturday evenings to demand he indict Netanyahu on corruption charges.
