State psychiatrists said they feared being axed if they didn’t follow Litzman’s illicit orders — report

Kan reports that breakthroughs in the police’s case against Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman came from the testimonies of various state psychiatrists. One of them told investigators, “I’m just a bureaucrat. A senior minister is sitting in front of me [making requests]. I know my place and I know his place and what is expected of me.”

Several psychiatrists told police that they feared they’d be fired if they didn’t follow Litzman’s orders, Kan says.
