Public Defender's Office opposes representing Elior Chen
The Public Defender's Office has notified the Jerusalem District Court that it objects to the appointment of one of its attorneys to represent "abusive rabbi" Elior Chen. This, following Justice Yoram Noam's decision of dismissing attorney Ariel Atari, who formerly represented Chen.
The letter stated that the decision to appoint a public defender was unlawful since Chen had expressed his wish that Atari remain as his lawyer. (Aviad Glickman)
