Original Copy - Law Suit to High Court of Justice by Lehi Activist Reuven Greenberg against the Prime Minister and Chiefs of Police - 1963
The original document of a petition to the High Court of Justice by Reuven (Romek) Greenberg, against Israeli chiefs of police, the Minister of Police, the Prime Minister, judges and others, on the grounds of persecution, staging criminal lawsuits, discrimination, slander and more.
Greenberg claimed that being a Lehi member, his activity against the Mapai government and the corruption of the police caused him to be unfairly accused of robbery, founding an underground movement, threats, fraud, interference with an investigation and attempting to influence witnesses, etc. 78 pages with copies of documents are added to the 19 page statement of claim.
The copy includes a circular notice from 1963 from an organization named "Keren Haadam - Igud Bnei Adam LeMaan HaAdam," with this particular letter addressed to Yitzhak Rafael, deputy Health Minister at the time. The letter calls on its readers to "read through these 99 pages in your hands… this isn't the story of Romek but the unlikely story of today's reality here and now… Romek's High Court of Justice documents are a stunning indictment against the way law and order are run in this country… this is a mine under our very feet…"
Reuven (Romek) Greenberg was a Lehi member active in the occupation of Dir Yassin, and was the one who placed a flag of Israel on the home of the village's Mukhtar. Romek was among those who assisted the escape of Geulah Cohen from British jail, and helped the assassins of Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte escape to Tel Aviv. Greenberg defended the Arabs of Abu Gosh after the 1948 war, supported Malchiel Gruenwald during the Kastner Trial and was involved in the activities of "Shurat HaMitnadvim," (see previous item) that was active in exposing corruption.
