Some comments to the recent judgement denying a Romni compensation for forced sterilisations even though the medical record indicates that the reason was she was Romani. The Czech Human Right Commissioner reacts.

• Czech Govt Human Rights Commissioner: Unfortunate decision not to compensate Romani woman for sterilization contradicts the very point of the law.

Soňa Karolová (65) will not receive compensation for the forced sterilisation she was submitter too. The doctors justified it in writing by her being a Romni. She is one of the 116 victims of involuntary sterilization to whom the Ministry of Health refused compensation of 300,000 crowns which was recently decided by the parliament. According to lawyers, this is a systemic failure. The ministry declined to comment on the case.

SHAME!
