Slovenia: “Incident”

Another article on the case of a social worker who was apparently attacked by a group of Roma and was sentenced to a fine of 250 Euros for having qualified a Roma as a “Monkey”.

Andrej Brečko from Mihovice near Šentjernej said “After 11 years of volunteer work in the village community and in a local initiative to solve the Roma problem, which the state should have solved long ago, I have now even received a fine for violating public order and peace – even though I was the victim of an attack by a group of Roma. “Now in the eyes of the police, I am the violator”.

Well, treating people of being monkeys casts a doubt about his view on Roma …

Russia, Roma, and the War

A pogrom against Roma happened recently in Korkino, in the Cheliabinsk region. It happened after the murder of a 40-year-old taxi driver. She was killed by a teenage Rom. He probably argued with the woman about the fare. After her death, riots broke out in the city.

Seven Roma from Korkino have received summonses to report to a military recruitment centre. This was reported by Igor Dongauzer, the prosecutor of the Chelyabinsk region, during a regular meeting with the residents of Korkino. This is probably a punishment that is supposed to help the authorities rebuild their authority in the city.

Oświęcim: Commemoration

On October 21st, 1981, an incident occurred in Oświęcim that quickly turned into a series of acts of violence directed against Roma families. The argument between Roma and non-Roma over their place in the queue escalated to such an extent that the townspeople formed a committee to “expel the Gypsies” from Auschwitz. Houses were set on fire, cars were destroyed, and physical violence was committed. Over 100 people were forced to leave the town and eventually the country. Instead of passports, the Roma were given so-called travel documents, which allowed them to leave Poland but did not allow them to return.
