Protesters call on Litzman to resign during extradition hearings on accused molester
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDemonstrators call on Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman to resign as the Jerusalem District Court hears whether a former girls school principal accused of sexual abuse in Australia is fit for extradition.
Litzman, who heads the United Torah Judaism party, is under investigation over suspicions he sought to obtain a falsified psychiatric report that would have prevented Malka Leifer’s extradition on medical grounds.
“Litzman go home, Leifer to Australia,” the protesters chant outside the court. “Justice for the girls, we believe you.”
Among the several dozen protesters are sisters Nicole Meyer and Dassi Erlich, who have accused Leifer of molesting them when she was headmaster of Melbourne’s Adass Israel school.
