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.

Police in Toronto has arrested a Czech refugee – possibly a Romni – who, according to the report may be a member of a ring of Roma purse snatchers.
