| | The St. Petersburg Times - News - Belarussian Jews Watch Diggings in Dismay |
 | | The controversy in Mozyr, 370 kilometers south of the capital, Minsk, echoes a dispute in another Belarussian city, Grodno, where bones from a Jewish cemetery were dumped in the dirt used to fill street potholes. |
 | | The Mozyr victims' remains were taken to a cemetery that was covered over by a sports ground in the 1960s, when Belarus was under Soviet rule. |
 | | About 40 Mozyr Jews have signed a petition calling for stopping the pipeline construction, and Yury Dorn, head of the Judaic Religious Association, said the group is demanding a halt to construction at both cemetery sites. |
