      Request: Release Name of Deceased Witness


      A request has been filed to end a gag order on the name of a state witness in the Holyland corruption affair. The witness died on Friday, a fact which PR man Ben-Tzion Citrin, who filed the request, says makes the gag order to protect his privacy and safety no longer relevant.

      Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski were among those indicted in the affair. The charges claimed that the massive Holyland Park was approved due to bribery.
