07.02.2014 Racially motivated acid attack against Rroma in Paris

Le Monde (2014) reports about an acid attack against Rroma who live on the street, close to the Place de la République. The offender had doused the Rroma’s mattress with acid and escaped when sighting eyewitnesses. The attack is just one in a series of acid attacks, which took place against the Rroma. Apparently, all harassments were done by the same person. It is believed that the perpetrator is the owner of an adjacent house. The victimized Rroma are preparing to file complaint against the offender: “The Rroma are encouraged to file complaint at the police office of the third arrondissement, the assistant of the organisation Autremonde has also filed complaint. “The officer in charge of the case is said to “use all possible means to find the perpetrator”, Mediapart states […]”. That the police truly helps the affected Rroma unbiased, is to be hoped.
