Jerusalem Police Absolved in Death
of Neturai Karta Demonstrator
JERUSALEM (JTA) .— This
city's police department was
absolved from blame for the
death in a riot last September
of a member of a crowd demon-
strating against the "desecration
of the Sabbath." It was estab-
lished that the dead man had
suffered a stroke during the
demonstration.
The dead man was Pinhas
Segalov, a member of Neturei
Karta, a small group of reli-
gious extremists who, for weeks
every Saturday, until the fatal
riot in September, staged
demonstrations against persons
riding in buses or automobiles
on the Sabbath.
Various religious groups
charged that the Jerusalem po-
licemen were brutal in stamp-
ing out the riot which, on that
day, had attracted thousands of
demonstrators and counter- dem-
onstrators.
Judge Eli ah u Mani, chairman
of the Special Inquiry Commis-
sion, recommended in his report
that full protection be given all
citizens, and called on all ele-
ments in the city to cooperate
to keep the peace.
Two secular members of the
Commission called for a law
prohibiting Saturday motor traf-
fic, especially in parts of the
city where 75 percent of the
residents object to such traffic.
Two religious members of the
Commission called for a law
barring all motor traffic in the
country "in order to preserve
the sacred character of the Sab-
bath."
Both of the latter groups in.
the Comission found that there
was a lack of religious men on
the Jerusalem police force. They
recommended that the police
department and the religious
groups establish closer liaison.
Members of the Commission
charged that Neturei Karta con-
stituted . a "fanatic religious
group" which exploited the Sab-
bath demonstrations "to combat
the state and undermine author-
ity through extreme activities
which went beyond peaceful
manifestation."
The Commission members also
criticized counter-demonstrators
whose activities, "if counte-
nanced by the authorities, would
lead to riots."
