The only one who accompanied Rabbi Eliezer Berland, and his wife, Tehilla, flying from South Africa to the Netherlands, is interviewed for the first time after the arrest of Rabbi at the airport in the Netherlands, and reveals the details.
Yaron Yemin serves the last two years as right hand of Rabbi Berland, and accompanied him in all hardships since he fled Israel. Beyond that, he also took the rabbi under his wing in Africa, hired the services of a battery of lawyers and prosecutors to prove the righteousness and innocence of the Rabbi, and to the full release.
The hired lawyers include Attorney Herman Levinstein from Amsterdam, and a host of top lawyers from Israel, including Sharon Nahari, Mr. Sassi Gaz, Attorney Moshe Yohai, Simon Tenelbaum and attorney Nadav Elijah.
Conversation with Behadrey Haredim Yemin says that lawyers are not willing to give up, and fight with all their might until the righteousness of Rabbi comes to light.
Tonight (Thursday) a little after 22:00, lawyer Herman Weinstein left the cell of the Rabbi in Amsterdam. Yemin explains the background to the arrest: "When the rabbi left Morocco because of persecution, his opponents continued chasing him and informed several times to the local authorities. Somehow that journey leaked, and someone from the community in South Africa called the police in the Netherlands, and told them that there was a man who is wanted for questioning in Israel. Under framework of standard procedure, Dutch police arrested the Rabbi for investigation, until they receive an answer from Israel.
"But after reporting to Israel, they found out there us no extradition order, and something like this might take a few days, and therefore there are currently no legal papers. As far as we know, there is no international extradition order against the Rabbi, contrary to reports, there is no Interpol extradition against the Rabbi ".
However, Israel intends to seek the extradition of Berland to Israel for trial. "It should be noted that Israel and the Netherlands signed by both the European Convention on Extradition," the Justice Department said in a statement on the subject.
And what is the point?
The goal is that the Rabbi be released from custody, the police will get him the claims about what is required for interrogation, and then comes for coordination and agreement and as befits a respectful manner. As mentioned, the rabbi has been expressed in the past that he has no problem to be investigated ", Yemin reminds.
"Followers of the rabbi in Israel, will not pass on the agenda of detention, and has been at those organizing protests details of which will be announced in the coming hours," said Yemin, "the coming days will organize demonstrations of hundreds of thousands in front of the Embassy of the Netherlands, the followers of Rabbi will not rest and will go out as a show of protest ".
Exclusive information provided by behadrey haredim, shows that expectations for the return of Rabbi to Israel before Shabbat is (tomorrow) will not be realized, and appears that it will take at least several days, or even weeks until the image is clear.
The rabbi's followers believe that this is the beginning and the end of suffering and exile imposed on the Rabbi these past two years.
Behadrey Haredim promise to continue to monitor and update exclusively.
