Ultra-Orthodox block Jerusalem roads in protest of draft evasion arrest
Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox hardliners demonstrate in Jerusalem in protest of the arrest of a yeshiva student accused of draft dodging.
The protesters from the so-called Jerusalem Faction block the light rail tracks and Sarei Yisrael and Jaffa streets, snarling traffic.
Twenty-one people have been arrested for disturbing the public order, police say.
Police are at the scene to break up the protest.
