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.
