The Jerusalem Magistrates Court Sunday fined 23 ultra-Orthodox Jews between 100 and 500 Shekels each and sentenced them to suspended jail terms for destruction of bus stops here two months ago.
The most severe penalty went to Rabbi Gershon Satmar, one of the leaders of the Eda Haredit. Satmar was fined 500 Shekels and received a suspended sentence of four months.
The trial of three others charged with the destruction, among them Rabbi Uri Blau of Neturei Karta, continues.
