MOSCOW (EJP)--- More than 60 tombstones have been desecrated on Sunday night in the Jewish cemetery of Krasnoïarsk, in eastern Siberia, the third such attack in recent years, the Federation of Jewish communities in Russia (FJC) announced.

The cemetery had already been targeted twice by anti-Semites.

"In the night of October 7-8, an act of vandalism was committed at the Jewish cemetery of Krasnoiarsk. 64 tombs were overturned and broken," Timur Kireyev, a FJC spokesman said.

The cemetery is located in the town centre but it is not guarded.

“The Jewish cemetery had been in the past targeted twice by anti-Semitic attacks, in 1998 and 2001,” Kireyev stressed.

"No one has been brought to justice yet," he said.

"Moreover, anti-Semitic inscriptions appeared again and again these last years on the walls of the synagogue of the city. Nobody was however worried,” he added.

Those responsible for managing the cemetry had agreed to contribute to the repairs to the graves.
