Three indicted for leaking identities of women seeking abortions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleProsecutors file an indictment Sunday against a secretary at a private women’s clinic and two activists in the religious NGO Hidavrut for allegedly leaking the private medical information of women considering carrying out the procedure.
The NGO works to convince women not to carry out the abortion.
According to prosecutors, the leak of legally protected private information allowed the NGO to “take advantage of the fragile condition and distress of the women.”
The indictment says the three women collected the identities over several months, calling large numbers of women before one filed a complaint with the Health Ministry.
A criminal investigation into the case is underway in the Justice Ministry’s Privacy Protection Authority.
