A follow up on the beatings by the police of Roma residents from the Slovak town of Zborov. On April 16th, the police beat up children, pregnant women, and finally threatened residents in case a video of the incident would be released (which happened).
Shame that the police can do this, double shame that they have not yet been prosecuted.
