Revision as of 08:30, 24 November 2006 by Ohconfucius (talk | contribs) (cats)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Emil Grunzweig was an Israeli Peace Now activist killed during a peace rally in Jerusalem on February 10, 1983. Grunzweig was killed when an unbalanced man named Yona Avrushmi lobbed a grenade into the crowd of demonstrators. Avrushmi was convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison. In 2005 Avrushmi was denied early release; he is currently slated to be released in 2010.
A pathological report found however that the grenade had exploded too close to Grunzweig's body to have been thrown and was most likely located in Grunzweig's own pocket.
