Treated like Waste Roma Homes Destroyed, and Health at Risk, in Romania
|
|
About 75 Roma people – including families with young children – have been living in metal cabins and shacks next to a sewage treatment plant since 2004. They were moved to the area, deemed unfit for human habitation, from a crumbling building in the centre of Miercurea Ciuc in Romania. They were told the move was temporary, and for their own safety. After more than five years, and various court cases, the continued violation of their right to adequate housing – among a host of other rights – is beginning to feel very permanent.
