Haredim burn trash cans to protest planned autopsy of J'lem woman
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
Dozens of haredim set garbage bins on fire in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood on Monday in protest of police plans to carry out an autopsy on the body of city resident, police said.
There were no injuries reported in the lunchtime incident in the neighborhood's Sabbath Square but traffic was blocked in the area.
The violence stemmed from police plans to carry out an autopsy on the body of a woman who had choked to death on a small rubber glove.
