The openhearted welcome of Poles towards Ukrainians stops when they are Roma. Several of them are stuck in Młyny on the Polish-Ukrainian Border.

We have reports of others in Przemyśl.

Numbers are unclear but rather small according to our informations.

Some people noticed the course on Gypsy criminality from the Kansas City Police (which showed, by the way their total ignorance of the subject). The course got cancelled.

Good!

Experiences of discrimination are still part of everyday life for Sinti and Roma in Germany. The federal government now wants to counteract this grievance with an antitziganism strategy. The appointment of an antiziganism commissioner, as agreed in the coalition agreement, has not yet taken place.

A really nasty poster was posted on the bus station in Lutsk, Ukraine. The poster urges people not to speak nor help Roma there.

The Roma were forcefully removed from the station a few days ago but seem to have come back.

In 2016, a Pogrom against Roma took place in Loshchinovka, near Odessa. No Roma were hurt as they had fled prior to the start of the pogrom. The origins of the pogrom was the brutal murder of an 8 year old girl and the fact that a Rom was initially accused of it. This accusation was dropped later.

Roma went to court to protest against the eviction and against the actions of several village officials., including the police which did not do anything to protect the Roma.

They lost – the eviction is apparently “self-government” of the village.

BAD.
