The Religious Information Service of Ukraine website reports today (June 10, 2012) that three young men have been arrested in the northwestern Ukrainian city of Rivne for vandalizing a memorial to Holocaust victims there.
The memorial to 17,500 Jewish citizens of Rivne -- who were murdered during the Nazi occupation in the 1940s -- was severely damaged on June 5 by vandals who destroyed the tiles on the complex.
The arrested teenagers -- who are between 17 and 19 years old -- have been charged with hooliganism.
They face up to four years in jail if found guilty.
