Three Haifa correspondents of Tel Aviv newspapers will face a court on charges of refusing to disclose to the police the source of confidential information about the government which was published here.

The correspondents disclosed a confidential exchange of letters between a Minister and the director of a government office in Haifa. A strong protest over the police action against the newspapermen has been lodged with the Parliamentary Committee on Interior Affairs.
