J'lem mayor and police commander place flowers in honor of teen slain in 2015 pride parade

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat and Jerusalem Police District Commander Yoram Halevi placed flowers Thursday on the spot where 16-year-old Shira Banki was murdered during the 2015 Jerusalem pride parade.

 

"I understand the pain and criticism of those who disagree with my decision to not participate in the parade. I chose another way to honor the memory of Shira Banki, (may she rest in peace)."

 

"I hope from the bottom of my heart that we will (be able to) unit all against any (instance of) incitement, violence, and (for) every person and community's right to free speech, without difference of race, religion, or gender," he continued.
