Statement

AIJAC is deeply troubled by reports of alleged wrongdoing by Israel’s Deputy Health Minister regarding the extradition case of accused sex offender Malka Leifer, indicted for numerous offences in Victoria.

We renew our call for extradition of Leifer, without delay, in the interests of justice for her alleged victims, and also call for a thorough investigation by Israeli authorities into any alleged malfeasance that may be delaying her return to face trial.

For additional information, contact AIJAC on (03)-9681-6660.
