The social activist Ortal Ben Dayan was interviewed on Iris Cole’s show on 103FM ahead of the film “Lights and Shadows – AK’s Struggle” and said: “I was always convinced that he was the killer and there is a crazy PR set up designed for his credit. A movement was created based on fake news and lies.” A sequel to the film “Heavy Shadow” – “Lights and Shadows – AK’s Struggle” which will be broadcast on Thursday on Kan 11, documents the struggle of Ola (AK), who was labeled as the main suspect in the murder Tair Rada, in those who still persecute her and continue to violate her rights. In her conversation with Iris Cole, Ben Dayan told about her time with Ola Kravchenko in recent years.
Does the film shine in a new light? Sharpening Ola’s innocence?
“I think the film is actually the point where Ola begins to deal with all the systems following the entire process of incrimination and persecution that occurred after the broadcast of both the series ‘Shadow of Truth’ and the persecution of the lawyer. This whole system that was created to incriminate her in order to acquit Zadorov , beyond the severe trauma and mental hardship, she also suddenly has to be a witness in a court. A witness in a court where the killer’s lawyer decides to crucify her on the stand, and at the same time she leads a libel suit against these people, including against the ex, the creators and the lawyer.”

how do you meet her
“I have accompanied Ola for many years.”
How did you get to her?
“I followed Zadorov’s story regardless of Ola for a long time, I was always convinced that he was the killer and there is simply a crazy PR set up designed to acquit him. Some such movement was created that is based on a lot of fake news and lies. Thayer’s mother also goes to readers in the cafe who tell her that the killer is blonde, this is documented in one of the first movies that started all the conspiracy theories. She always wanted it to be the girlfriends, she wanted to blame the girlfriends, she didn’t want it to be an arbitrary murder. Everyone was jealous of her, it’s better than just murder. The friends or people at school were always the target.”
Are you mad at Ilana?
“Look, there are things that are taboo in Israel and in the world, one must not be angry and judge someone who has experienced such a great loss, and I don’t think there is a greater loss than this. I also say this with the utmost sincerity, if something like this happened to me I don’t think you would be able to continue living. Therefore, it is clear to me that what she went through is a very difficult thing. There is a point where the victim can be a victim, and you have to remember that you cannot let the victim be the victim. There is a point where, with all due respect to the family of the victim of the crime, you cannot let the victim produce other victims. For years Thayer’s girlfriends were victims, Ola has been in the spotlight for many years. It is true that Ilana Rada is not the one who initiated the persecution of Ola, and she also does not believe Ola’s story, she never believed it, she always wanted it to be people from the school. She wants Let them deal with it, as long as they deal with it, and she said it explicitly, as far as she is concerned, Tair Chai’s story is alive.”
Did the movie do it justice? cleaned her?
“I think that the previous film cleared Ola. The prosecution cleared her of any guilt, Ola does not have to prove her innocence, there is no serious, non-conspiratorial body from some dubious forum on the internet that thinks she has something to do with this murder. The story is from the public’s point of view, what happens publicly after That the lawyer Yarom Halevi and the rapist Adir Habani and the creators all sit and give them platforms, then it is clear that they caused her a great deal of damage. So yes, I think that this film allows her to reveal not only her innocence but also the results of persecution, shaming and fake news.”

How is she doing today?
“Always getting better and stronger, but it’s very volatile. This week is very stressful, on Thursday the verdict will be given and even though it is clear to us that Ola is not guilty and that there will be no proceedings against her, but yes we know that there are very big bruises out there and on the net, that if Roman is acquitted, it may be They have more of a sense of legitimacy.”
Are her claims open?
“The big lawsuit, the defamation lawsuit, yes. It’s an open lawsuit, the first hearing should be held very soon. A big trial. She also needs help raising money for the legal process, she has a website, a lovely book of fairy tales she wrote that received great reviews.
