A third young Rom was killed by the police in Athens after a police chase. According to the police, the gun went off when the young Rom tried to grab a pistol from the police.
He is the third young Roma killed by the police in Greece in as many years.
Prosecutors finally indicted a Ukrainian national today for committing bodily harm and murder in the case of the young Roma man who died at the Brno Reservoir this summer. The June case led to tensions between Romani people and Ukrainians in the Czech Republic.
Stanislav Tomáš, who died two years ago in the summer after an intervention by the police, has a new tombstone at the Teplice cemetery. The police was exonerated, a conclusion that many did not accept. On his tomb, there is simply the word “Pativ”, here standing for respect.
On Monday, a group of Roma walked past the Novo mesto School Centre and attacked several students who were coming to school. Several students were injured and had to go to hospital. The police, who do not know the reason behind this attack, managed to catch most of the attackers.
This is not good.
In 1972, the small village of Niederthann in the Pfaffenhofen district became the scene of a crime: four shots were fired, a young, pregnant Romni lost her life, and another was seriously injured. The historian and author Hans Woller has reconstructed the criminal case and will read from his new book “Hunting Scenes from Niederthann” on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Ingolstadt city library. A lesson about racism.”
26 years after his brutal murder by two skinheads, family and activists commemorated the death of Dusan Jovanović.
In September 2023 they submitted a new proposal in which they specified a part of the park in public property to be named after Dušan Jovanović, but the authorities have not formally addressed and responded to the family of the murdered boy to date.
Representatives of the Ne davimo Beograd-Green Left Front party, the city of Belgrade and the Roma Forum of Serbia laid flowers in Beogradska Street, at the place where a 13-year-old Roma boy, Dušan Jovanović, was killed 26 years ago.
MP Jozef Pročko (OĽaNO) has a sprained cervical spine and a bruised head after Monday’s incident in Lučenec where he was attacked. At the press conference, he appeared with a fixation collar and announced that he had filed a criminal complaint in connection with the physical attacks on his person.
Pročko, but also OĽaNO candidates Peter Pollák and Viliam Tankó talked about the escalating attacks at their meetings. “We are the target of verbal and physical attacks. Their reason is our Roma origin,” added Pollák.
It was a group of Roma candidates who led the election campaign on Monday in Lučenec, where Prochko also came to support them. “Unknown people started disrupting our event. They shouted at us that we are gypsies, parasites,” Pollák told journalists, adding that after the verbal attacks, there were also physical attacks on Proček.
Czech extremists, whose target are both Roma and Ukrainians, took advantage of the murder of a Rom in Bron in June and are systematically inciting Roma against Ukrainians, whose relations were not ideal even before the crime.
This is really bad.
Some Czech Roma are protesting about the release of the Ukrainian who killed a Rom in Brno recently. He is no longer in jail but on bail. The release of the murderer from the Brno case is a slap in the face of the Roma. “One less gypsy, so what?” according to Romani leader Tancoš.
These confrontations between Ukrainian refugees and Roma have not been good. Some Roma sided with some extreme right parties to complain about Ukrainian refugees. Our attitude is: Let’s see what justice says about this case. It is definitively bad that the suspect was released on bail, with the judge expressing doubt about this being a murder.
Roma gathered today in Gračanica, Kosovo, at a protest organized by the Association of Roma in Kosovo “Opre Roma”, due to the beating of a Rom by the Kosovo Police.
Witnesses of the racist attack in Rostock in 1992 remember.
A reportage on the case of a man, a former soldier, who suddenly threatened Roma children in Zabrze, Poland. All the more incomprehensible, as he had been living for a long time in the neighbourhood and had friends there.
Another article about the release from custody of the man accused of murder of a young Rom in Brno last June. Apparently, the judge expressed doubts about the charges and about the representation of the events by the prosecutor. The man stabbed two Roma, one of which died in hospital.
A Ukrainian man suspected of the murder of a Roma youth, which took place in mid-June near the Brno Reservoir, left the gates of the remand prison. The Brno Regional Court decided in a closed session that the man’s further stay in custody was not necessary. The information was confirmed by the spokesperson of the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Brno, Hynek Olma.
According to information from Novinek, the court should have even expressed doubts about whether the act at the dam happened as the public lawsuit claims.
An arson attack in 1984 which killed 7 in Duisburg has largely been forgotten. The racist motive was also ignored. The city is now commemorating the event.
The case of a soldier, possibly with a gun, threatening Roma in Zabrze, Poland. Apparently, the person is known and was till now absolutely friendly with Roma.
Bad.
A video purposedly showing three Roma beating a Ukrainian in Brno, is a total fake. Yesterday, it came out that the person beaten up was not a Ukrainian, but today, the Brno police confirmed that neither Roma nor Ukrainians were involved.
Total disinformation.
A video of a fights in Brno’s Cejl Street is circulating on the Internet. It shows a young man being beaten by three Roma and the commentary states it is another clash between Roma and Ukrainians.
It turns out that the person beaten up was a foreigner, but not a Ukrainian.
Bad.
Another incident in a run-down housing estate in Krupka, Czech Republic. About 500 Roma manifested in the estate, claiming children had been sexually harassed by foreigners. According to Romea, initially the manifestation was not against Ukrainians, many protested against them.
The parents deposited a formal complaint with the police.
Interestingly enough, the news in the Czech Press do not mention sexual harassment, but rather that the children had been locked up in the cellar by drunk people.
Bad in any case.
