We are deeply concerned by the disturbing reports of the events involving Rabbi Dov Haiyun in Haifa this morning. We welcome the intervention of Attorney General Mandelblit ordering the police to release Rabbi Haiyun. We urge the Attorney General and the Minister of Internal Security Gilad Erdan to investigate the circumstances and conduct involved with Rabbi Haiyun’s early morning detention for interrogation and to take steps to prevent a recurrence.
