Canada: No Extradition

Published by:

A Canadian lawyer successfully prevented the extradition of his Romanian client on the grounds that he is Rom and that his rights would not be ensured in Romania.
This is good in itself.
What is bad is that the Rom was involved in a fraud with trading companies in the early 2000’s.

Bosnia: Racism

Published by:

A really shocking article from Bosnia. Residents from Mostar are protesting because “many” Roma are coming to Mostar, are stealing, sexually harassing women, burning tires, and generally attacking inhabitants.
Well … Let’s not forget that these brave Bosnians were all in agreement to ethnically cleanse Roma out of their respective regions. As a result, they effectively deprived most Roma of their homes and of a living.
