MOSCOW (JTA) -- The Union of Councils for Jews in the former Soviet Union launched a campaign to get local authorities to arrest neo-Nazis, who, the watchdog group says, are terrorizing Jews in the Siberian city of Tyumen.
The group said skinheads there have smashed the windows of a synagogue under construction seven times, most recently on Sept. 29. Local authorities have termed the attacks "young people's hooliganism" and "seem reluctant to take action to protect the Jewish community," the group said in a statement.
