While anti-Semitic students who attacked Jews in Targu-Fromos last July have merely been fined from one to 500 lei, several Jews who defended themselves against these attacks have been sentenced to from 10 days to six months in jail and have been fined besides. The outbreak in Targu-Fromos took place in connection with the celebration of the election of the anti-Semitic Professor Cuza to the Roumanian Parliament.
After the riot, several Jews were arrested, brought to Jassy, interrogated and set free. Some of them however were re-arrested, tried, and found guilty of defending themselves against attacks.
