Roma Holocaust Memorial Day 2 August 2021
GENEVA (30 July 2021) – Roma around the world must not be made scapegoats of politicians, or demonized and targeted on social media, Fernand de Varennes, the UN special rapporteur on minority issues, said today.
“States must do more to proactively combat rising signs of intolerance and attacks against Romani and other minorities, particularly hate crimes and attacks on social media,” he said ahead of Roma Holocaust Memorial Day on 2 August.
“It’s tragic that almost 80 years after the Romani genocide during World War Two, minorities particularly Roma in Europe and other parts of the world are increasingly experiencing hate speech and are being targeted by politicians and others,” he said.
