Rome: Roma Camp

Published by:

The Roma camp of “Camping River” was cleared by the police yesterday. Clearly, no alternative lodging was provided. The camp closure goes against a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that was blatantly ignored by the Italian authorities.
The Italian press was more in favour of the closure than the international one.
