Czechia: Attack

Published by:

A young Roma family from Svitavy was the victim of an attack by an older man who allegedly racially abused them and threatened them with death. He apparently even pointed an unloaded gun at the partner of a young Roma woman and pulled the trigger. The incident took place on Friday, May 3, around 6 p.m., when the woman and her friend stopped their car at a relative’s house. The police confirmed to the news website Romea.cz that they are investigating the case, but did not prove a racial motive for the attack even though he called them “black monkeys”.
