Belarus – Vandal of Jewish Cemetery Brought to Justice

Belarus – Since at least the mid-1990s, dozens of recorded incidents of vandalism against Jewish cemeteries, synagogues, Holocaust memorials and community centers took place in Belarus, none of which resulted in any punishment for the culprits.

Now for the first time, a court in that country sentenced a vandal to prison

Two suspects, aged 18-20, were charged destroying four gravestones in April 2007. One was found guilty and sentenced to two and a half years in prison plus a fine. [fsumonitor]
