We are deeply disappointed at the release of Malka Leifer from detention to house arrest.

It has been claimed that her detention was “humiliating” for Ms Leifer. It is the humiliation and hurt of her alleged victims that matters. They have a right to have their accusations heard in legal proceedings.

We call for the Israeli justice system to expedite the return of Ms Leifer to Australia to face charges of sexual abuse.
