State Attorney's Office filed a defamation suit against a private citizen in the name of Dr. Sharon Alroi-Price

In an unusual move, the State Attorney's Office filed a defamation suit against a private citizen in the name of Dr. Sharon Alroi-Price, Director of Public Health Services​ in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. Posts she has posted in recent months on Facebook and Twitter and post apologies for them.

The ministry emphasizes that "there is no dispute that criticism of civil servants is legitimate, and even essential, for the proper functioning of government authorities, including criticism of vaccine activity, even if it is not always restrained and polite - but a personal and false attack on a public servant and his family is cross.

I thank her for that," Barak-Tamir told Ice, adding that she was not afraid of the lawsuit, even though unlike Arlei-Price who places her legal expenses on The state, it will have to take money out of its pocket - but it is confident that its many supporters will help it cover for these economic damages.
