| Barak: Law enforcement system must be protected from Olmert's assaults |
| 2008-07-26 |
| Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Friday said that the freedom and the command of law enforcement authorities must be protected, in reference to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's response to recent allegations he was obstructing the corruption investigations against him by failing to cooperate with police investigators. "The courts, the police and the state prosecution must be protected from attempts to harm their authority and their freedom," Barak said at a Labor Party conference Friday. "Over recent days, we have seen a renewed assault against the law enforcement authorities," he added, warning that the "prosecution, police and the courts are essential bodies in any democracy." |
