Belize Expels Lev Tahor Leaders Amid Allegations

Belize has expelled three men, including a Lev Tahor leader, back to Guatemala. The arrests occurred at the Belize-Guatemala border, highlighting the group's ongoing legal issues. Lev Tahor, facing accusations of abuse, has been involved in controversial incidents across Central America, including recent child rescues in Guatemala.

Belize has deported three men, including a prominent figure from the controversial Jewish sect Lev Tahor, to Guatemala. They were detained at the shared border between the two Central American nations.

Among the arrested was Avraham Dinkel, a Canadian citizen involved with Lev Tahor. The group, established in 1988 and known for its strict religious practices, has faced numerous allegations including kidnapping, child marriage, and abuse.

In a recent crackdown, Guatemalan authorities rescued 160 children from Lev Tahor-related premises following reports of abuse. The case underlines ongoing regional challenges in dealing with the sect's activities.
