Sweden urged to support Israel's Democracy Movement
In response to recent political developments in Israel, where the government has passed a law limiting judicial intervention against corruption and nepotism, an open letter has been addressed to Minister of Foreign Affairs Tobias Billström. Israel's Minister of Justice himself has stated that this law is just the beginning of a series of proposals aimed at political control over the judiciary and government agencies.
