Suspects in the attacks against Roma camps in the Ukraine have still not been identified… Seems odd to say the least. Or is it something else?

An article on the series of Pogroms in the Ukraine and the de-facto impunity of the perpetuators. Scary is the fact that this anti-Roma attitude in society has gained hold in recent years.
Bad for all.

Several Ukrainian artists built a makeshift house to remind people about the plight of Roma and others who live in shantytowns in the Ukraine.
On the second article in “Korrespondent”, there are many comments that are really scary against Roma.

Following the latest attack on Roma in Lviv, the US and Amnesty International are urging Ukraine to act. Meanwhile, the police speaks of “hooliganism” …
This latest attack targeted a permanent settlement and not, as in the case of Kiev, a temporary one.

The US embassy in Kiev as well as Amnesty International have called for a thorough investigation of the recent attacks against Roma in the Ukraine.

This time in Lviv – another attack against a Roma camp. The camp was burnt down.
