Parents' lawyer: Parents should be liable to penalization for contempt of courtMordechai Green, the attorney representing the hassidic parents, told Radio Kol Chai before the court's decision became public that the parents should be liable to penalization for contempt of the court, since the petition, filed by Yoav Lalom and the Noar Kahalacha nonprofit organization, was not against the parents but rather the Independent Education Center (Hinuch Atzma’i), under which the school operates.The Independent Education Center, in adherence to the court ruling, had instructed all the parents to return their girls to the reunified school. The notion to hold the parents in contempt of the court, Green said, only came after the court summoned them for testimony, and if the charge of contempt is not applicable to the original defendant, the Independent Education Center, it should not be used against the parents.Attempts within the haredi world to reach understandings on the issues pertaining to racial discrimination in the Independent Education Center were still underway even as the court reached its decision.
