Lanterns attacked a room account in the Ukrainian Capital Kiev copycat attacks soon followed across the country in late june twenty three year Old David Pap was stabbed more than a dozen times in the western city of leave his death provoked an outcry inside and outside ukraines borders the teenage suspect now in custody but how could this have been allowed to happen and what has become the survivors. Where in the village where david pappa grew up from here its just a matter of kilometers to ukraines Western Frontier with hungary its a backyard the region is home to ukraines biggest drug a Community Many of them live in extreme poverty since the attacks people here become wary of strangers and its only with the help of pastor fed your progress that we are allowed in he takes us to meet david perhaps we dont yet the first time shes spoken publicly about her husbands murder. He says when those teenagers came to attack how can they didnt say
we need to get around to solving the roma communities problems now were not just kick the can down the road. Everybody made us laugh takes us on a visit to rob bunker a Roma Community on the edge it was sort of. There we meet claro a survivor of one of the attacks in libya im doing a study these old people and children they smashed my brother in laws head in and just left him for dead but i dont want the attackers to go to prison prison doesnt make people any better they were like they were just kids off to rule on. Top up that did to its a Point Of View we hear time and time again to where the people here are ready to forgive simply fear further escalation we cant get a clear answer as we continue our walk through red bunker with miroslav the atmosphere suddenly turns theres been a break in the Political Church and suspicion this fall and the inhabitants of this road the community will move so if he wants them theyll give it all back. Someone broke into the church. Do you have pictures we never do find out how the Investigation Ends and now the police leave rather than go without making any arrest at a time when the Roma Community needs the police to protect them or the never relations with Law Enforcement the tense amount but suspicion. And its not just in ukraine that roma and sinti people face discrimination for more on this lets bring in Georgia Law Novich hes the president of the European Roma Rights Center and he joins us now from. And george as we just heard there we just saw documentation of violence against n. T. And roma and ukraine what can you tell us about the situation for these groups in other countries. No reports from ukraine but from other countries oh well give us a lot of war is that. On the raise in europe we see very high official from
european Member States government giving statements in which they openly promote and support them as an example in bulgaria of fashions that is convinced on the anti hate crime against roma for calling them animals get to be a deputy Prime Minister of the country and as the biggest irony he gets to run to National Council for the integration of minorities including those people that he called animals at the same time italian interior minister silvio calls for the Roma Act Next census promises cleaning the feet. Of their own the presence openly expressed regret that he context felt italian roma. Because they are protected as italian citizens in such a Political Climate reseed that a direct consequence is that human rights and even the rule of law is not respected last week we had
a perfect example of that in rome where the local of. Around Three Hundred roma on the street from their houses providing gold tentative accommodation and aghast actually the interim order of the European Court of human rights which says a dispy people can be weak that so the discrimination as youve articulated there exists not only on the streets but also in the halls of government and id like to know because you obviously study this would you say that its increasing yes and as i said yes in last year and this year we actually see dead. Creasing in whole europe. So what needs to be done to counteract that to combat discrimination. So what my organization is doing is a geisha and so we take their asses to the courts we five for respect of human
rights and rule of flow but this can be done in this elation because as we saw in this example of the work your target is you can order a direct order of the european the court of human rights that show us actually that whole European Union has to change the European Union has to assist on all its members to respect European Values and that means respecting minorities including those most vulnerable like koroma because you know the most European Countries actually developed a very nice papers on Integration Policies for roma what is missing is actually a real implementation and a real political will to the roma and not using them as gave goals for the populous statements so how do you fail that political well you know and your goal which promote equality for sente and realm what do you see as the main challenges we need to do to promote equality we need to promote understanding between people we need
to understand why someone is different why someone has a different Life Experience and we need to work to raise awareness of this long lasting or equal discrimination of roma which exist since they came to this. Continent and will last long lasting discrimination is actually one of the main reasons why we still see so many differences between roma and non roma in our societies judge of and of its president of the European Roma Rights Center thank you so much for joining us thank you.
