Falschbeschuldigungen in Israel

Auch in Israel gibt es Männerrechtsgruppen. Ein aktueller Schwerpunkt ihrer Arbeit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit Falschbeschuldigungen bei häuslicher und sexueller Gewalt:

The Knesset Labor, Welfare and Health Committee decided Wednesday to establish a subcommittee to look into claims by men and family advocacy groups that the law against women making false claims of rape, sexual assault and violence against their ex-spouses is not being enforced by the police or state prosecutors. The heads of several men's rights groups told the committee Wednesday that a significant number of such complaints are later discovered to be false. However, despite the stipulations of the law that those who submit false police complaints be prosecuted, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, in nearly all cases the woman is let off.

Bislang werden diese Vorwürfe von einer Polizeisprecherin und der Leiterin eines Krisenzentrums für Opfer von Vergewaltigungen scharf zurückgewiesen. Die Jerusalem Post berichtet.
