A Russian court on Friday sentenced five teenagers to prison terms or juvenile detention for beating a Jewish man at a cemetery and fatally stabbing him with metal cemetery cross, a court official said.
The Yekaterinburg Regional Court convicted the five of murder motivated by ethnic hatred. Four were sentenced to prison colony terms ranging from seven to 10 years, court secretary Yekaterina Maslennikova said. One was sentenced to five years in a juvenile detention facility.
Prosecutors said the five, ranging in age from 12 to 17, were drunk on Oct. 1, 2005, when they encountered a 21-year-old Jewish man and attacked him. After the man fell to the ground, the group took a metal cross from a grave headstone and stabbed him.
Prosecutors had investigated 10 other teenagers for possible involvement in the incident, but did not bring charges against them, the ITAR-Tass news agency said.

Wow! Justice has been served! What type of legal system hands out terms of 7-10 years for a malicious act of putting a metal cross through a human. Aside from the barbaric act in and of itself, these teens put a cross through a jew!
Justice had to be served and it was! Don’t mess w/ the jews? Don’t even think about it.
repulsive goyim!! there is no such cruelty in the jewish world. what kind of parents raise such children??!!! did you read the one on AOL news tonight about 2 black teenagers who were convicted for duct-taping the mouth of a 3-month-old puppy and baking it alive, then bringing kids to see it?!!!!! Prison is not enough for such sharatzim!!
They will not survive those 7-10 years intact (and may they peyger after less than a year of hazing and other torment). I have lived in Russia and while BH I have never experienced it directly, I know that Russian prisons are not summer resorts.
