EU to File Official Protest to Belarus 11:20, 02/07/2003, jewish.ru
EU representatives in Belarus will file an official protest against the defilement of the Jewish cemetery, which has a historic value. EU diplomats intend to travel to Grodno on Wednesday, one day before the EU intends to voice an official statement in Vienna, denouncing Belarus for the desecration of a 300-year old cemetery, where they are building a soccer stadium right now.
The Committee for the preservation of Jewish cemeteries in Europe publicized this problem after a few British rabbis paid visit to the Eastern Belarus and experienced shock from what they saw there. The graveyard, shut for the burials in 1950, keeps in the grounds the remains of several generations of the Belarusian Jews, including hundreds of Holocaust victims, reports JTA.
