Krasnoyarsk cemetery vandals sentenced

Four teenagers were convicted of vandalizing a Jewish cemetery in Krasnoyarsk . The defendants faced the rarely applied charge of "damaging tombstones motivated by ethnic hatred"-most cemetery vandals are charged simply with "hooliganism."

They were found guilty of vandalizing the cemetery on the night of October 7, 2007 . One was confined to a psychiatric institution, the others got sentences of between two and two and a half years and were fined as well.
