Police in Odessa, Ukraine, have detained three young people suspected of having vandalised more than 300 Kevarim on the night of February 18, 2007 as reported HERE on YW.
The incident caused serious international reverberations and was condemned by the public.
Two detainees, both 25 years old, neither work nor study. The third one is a 19-year-old student of a vocational school. They confessed to their crime and showed the place where they had dumped the paint cans and gloves. They said they had “only wanted to check the reaction of society”.
The suspects have been charged under Article 297 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code, which envisages up to three years in prison for the desecration of tombs and burial places.
