Rabbi Meyer Berlin, the President of the Mizrachi World Organisation, was arrested today, but immediately released, on a complaint lodged by the employees of the headquarters office of the Mizrachi World Organisation, on account of the non-payment of their salaries. One of the officials at the Mizrachi headquarters office took out a warrant for Rabbi Berlin’s arrest, with a view to preventing him leaving the country, while the bills of the Mizrachi Organisation remain unpaid.
At the same time, the officials at the Mizrachi headquarters office have declared a strike in protest against the non-payment of their salaries, and the threatened dismissal of officials without compensation.
