Italy End discrimination against Roma, new Italian government told

20 Nov 2011 | roma

‘Ekklesia’ reports that Amnesty International has called on the Italian authorities to end discriminatory measures against Roma after the country’s ‘Nomad Emergency’ decrees were declared unlawful by the country’s highest administrative court. The Italian Council of State has ruled to end the ‘Nomad Emergency’, which has exposed Roma communities to serious human rights violations since it was introduced three years ago. “The Italian government now has a responsibility to provide effective remedies to all the Roma families who suffered forced evictions and other human rights violations during the Nomad Emergency”.
