3 arrested for blocking Jerusalem construction
Three ultra-Orthodox protesters are arrested after attempting to prevent construction work from taking place on Jerusalem’s Yosef Burg street, adjacent to Sacher Park. The protesters claim there are Jewish graves at the construction site and that the work desecrates the memory of the dead.
Construction resumes after the three are arrested, the NRG news site reports.
