Interest was provoked here today in legal circles by an unprecedented verdict handed down yesterday by the Court of Appeals here in the case of two Jewish youths who, in self defense, offered physical resistance to assailants during the anti-Jewish attacks in the street sof Warsaw last May.
The two youths, Israel Czarobrodski and Mordechai Weinstraub, were sentenced by a lower court to ten days imprisonment each “for disturbing public peace.” They appealed to the higher court which yesterday ruled that their sentence be increased to six weeks each.
