A 25-year-old man connected to the Occupy Edinburgh movement has been charged with destroying Scotland’s biggest chanuciah in an alleged antisemitic attack.
He appeared in court last week facing one charge of vandalism aggravated by hate, but was released by the Procurator Fiscal pending further police inquiries.
But members of Edinburgh’s Jewish community have spoken in his defence, claiming they did not believe the destruction of the menorah was motivated by antisemitism.
