US Court Orders Russia to Return Thousands of Books to Chabad, with No Chance of Appeal

by CrownHeights.info

An American court has rejected an appeal by the Russian government, upholding a previous court order that Russia must return thousands of books and manuscripts to the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

The ruling, which required the Russian government to return the books and face a penalty for every day the items were not returned, also states that the decision could not be appealed.

It remains to be seen if the ruling will result in the return of the precious books and manuscripts, or if there will be further legal wranglings.
