Sohlberg issues injunction against Satmar org. accused of bribing voters to abstain from election
A petition filed by the Movement for Quality Government alleged that a Satar-affiliated organization offered payments of NIS 200 to haredim who vowed not to vote in the upcoming Knesset elections.
Central Elections Committee Chairman Noam Sohlberg has issued a temporary injunction against the Shekel HaTahor organization, affiliated with the Satmar ultra-Orthodox community, for allegedly offering bribes to voters to abstain from the upcoming Knesset elections. The injunction stems from a petition filed by the Movement for Quality Government, which alleges that Shekel HaTahor has been providing NIS 200 "support payments" to haredim who have pledged not to vote.
The injunction will remain in effect until further decision, and proceedings regarding the petition are ongoing.
