OCCUPIEd JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage has charged that Jewish fanatics along with the Israeli controlled municipality were desecrating the Ma'manullah cemetery in occupied Jerusalem.

Zaki Eghbaria, the chairman of the Foundation, said in a statement on Monday that tens of graves were destroyed or exhumed at the hands of Jewish fanatics other than the Israeli municipality's act of dumping weed and wood in the cemetery to completely conceal a large part of the graveyard.

He also pointed to the Zio-American Simon Wiesenthal Center that was still digging in the cemetery to build the so-called "Museum of Tolerance" on the ruins of the graveyard.

The chairman called for immediate maintenance of the cemetery, noting that his Foundation had started a program in this direction.
