Dismissed Jerusalem patriarch breaks into offices, clashes with clergymen
Text of report by Palestinian radio Voice of Palestine on 13 July:
Eirinaious I, the dismissed patriarch of the Orthodox Church [in Jerusalem], and 25 of his guards broke into the premises of the Orthodox Patriarchate in the Bab al-Khalil district in the old city in Jerusalem this afternoon.
The Head of the National Christian Grouping told our radio that a fist-fight took place between Eirinaious and his guards on the one hand and the clergymen who were present on the premises on the other, leading to injuries on both sides. Our correspondent in the occupied Jerusalem said that the occupation police forces arrived at the scene and prevented anyone from leaving the Patriarchate.
