Haredim protest, torch trash cans in Jerusalem

None

Some 200 ultra-Orthodox demonstrators are making their way to Sabbath Square in Jerusalem in order to protest the moving of graves from a site designated for Barzilai Hospital's new emergency wing, as well as the arrest of a man suspected of snatching the body of a woman thought to have overdosed on drugs in order to prevent an autopsy.

 

On their way to the square the haredim torched trash cans and blocked the main road into the city. Police are preparing for violent riots. (Shmulik Grossman)
