Czech Republic: Rrom Sentenced for Racism

décembre 24, 2016 Published by: RF

A young Rrom was sentenced to 8 months of prison for racism for having shouted “Czech f*ckers” during a commemoration for the young Rrom who was killed in a pizzeria a while back. The man was his cousin.
Using terms slandering Rroma is apparently not treated the same way, otherwise, there would be many people in Jail in that country.
SHAME…
