Pro-Israel Tennessee Nonprofit Submits Freedom Of Information Requests

After Surprise IRS Audit

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today,

Liberty Institute, in partnership with the Washington, D.C. law firm

Bancroft PLLC, submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to

the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury Department and the State

Department on behalf of HaYovel, Inc., a Tennessee-based nonprofit

dedicated to the support of small independent farmers in Israel.

The requests seek information related to the surprise field audit the

IRS conducted of HaYovel in December 2010. The audit came a few

months after the organization was featured prominently in a July 5,

2010New York Times article titled Tax-Exempt Funds Aid Settlements in

West Bank.

The FOIA requests seek to determine whether there is a connection

between the New York Times article, the current administration's

policies with regard to Israel's settlements in the West Bank, and the

audit of HaYovel in 2010.
