Austria, represented by the Roma adult education center in Burgenland, dealt, among other things, with the inclusion of Roma in politics.

Bosnia: Human Trafficking

January 4, 2023 Published by: Roma Foundation

Two people were sentenced recently in Bosnia Hercegovina for human trafficking. They had forced people to beg and steal in Paris by threatening them and their families back home. Apparently, they managed to earn around 1.5 mio EUR between 2012 and 2015.

The threats were recorded, which provided the evidence and they were sentenced to 12 years each.
