Haredim disrupt traffic in protest over alleged abusive mom's arrest

Scores of haredim on Wednesday blocked traffic on Rehov Bar-Ilan, Rehov Yehezkel and Kikar Hashabat in Jerusalem with burning garbage bins, protesting the arrest of a woman apparently suffering from a psychiatric disorder, who allegedly near-starved her three-year-old son to death. Police were at the scene.
