Slovakia and the Police Case

Published by:

The lawyer of the Rroma who sued the police for abuse following their arrest and abuse and who were acquitted last week, believes that the court will change the decision to free cops. According to the lawyer, it is incomprehensible that the District Court refused to accept the incriminating video as evidence without having to carry out an expert opinion. The prosecution appealed the verdict in any case.

Slovakia – 7 Years

Published by:

Ten police officers were freed of all charges for their abuse of Rroma children in Lunik IX, one of the notorious Rroma neighbourhoods of Kosice. The police officers allegedly forced the Rroma under the threat of violence to kiss each other in the corridor of the District Police Department of Košice, they had to strip, were forced with a gun on their head to lick the police officer’s shooes, and so on. The cops recorded the incident on mobile phones, sending shots to other colleagues, a scrawled and scratched record she got to the editor of the SME journal and published the content.
Bad that they went free.
