Activists
Lory Shem Tov and Moti Leybel, assisted by several attorneys, started
efforts to discover the records and release Ben Simone. They widely
published denunciation of Minster of Justice Ayelet Shaked for her
conduct in this case, as well as hidden camera videos of medical
staff of the hospital making various false statements regarding
the case.
The activists also reported that the medical staff refused to produce any records of the compulsory hospitalization, and that medical staff claimed that Ben Simone "waived" her right to appeal the decision.
Such
claim was ludicrous, given that the records later showed that Ben
Simone had been diagnosed "psychotic" and of "erratic
judgement" - therefore, legally
incompetent.
