Russia jails five teenagers for brutal murder of Jewish man

By Reuters

A Russian court sentenced five teenagers to between five and 10 years in jail on Friday for beating a Jewish man to death in a cemetery with a metal cross, media reported.

The court said that in 2005 when they were aged from 12 to 17, the five escorted the 21-year-old victim to the cemetery before attacking him. The agency quoted a court official in the Ural mountains region of Sverdlovsk as saying the murder was racially motivated.

Racism has flourished in Russia since the Soviet collapse, with skinheads killing dozens of dark-skinned foreigners over the past several years.

There are also frequent cases of anti-Semitism. A man shouting "Heil Hitler" burst in to a synagogue last year,
stabbing nine people. Jewish graves are frequently desecrated.
