A new psychiatric panel decision on former Melbourne school principal Malka Leifer's mental fitness to stand an extradition trial to face charges of child abuse has been postponed to next year
"We don't understand why this happening but it doesn't make sense," Ms Erlich further said.Ms Erlich and her sisters, who have been fighting to bring Leifer back to Australia to stand trial for 74 charges of rape and child sexual abuse, are exhausted from so many delays and"nerve-racking" waits.
"Another nerve-racking month. Will it actually go ahead? How much longer can we hold on?" Ms Erlich said, sceptical the hearing would happen in January."We have three courageous alleged victims who continue to suffer and who were waiting anxiously for today's outcome and once again they've had the door slammed in their face," Mr Waks told AAP.
"It is absolutely unacceptable, and the Israeli judicial system desperately needs to be reformed, it does not make sense that this charade is continuing." Anyone seeking information or support relating to sexual abuse can contact Bravehearts on 1800 272 831 or Blue Knot on 1300 657 380.
