In the Bitola, Romas were beaten with elements of revenge by the police officers, in connection with this new case in Bitola with indications of brutality, but also with elements of revenge by the police officers, the Roma Democratic Union - RDS
RDS reacts to the statement published by Avaia where it shares this information on social networks. In case the police officer wanted to write him fine, for not wearing mask during his lunch break. The officer asked for his ID, and because he didn’t have it with him, he decided to take him in the police van, but his mother stepped saying to take hers ID instead of her son’s. After that the both of them were taken to the police van, beaten up and threaten with the words: come on gypsies, record now, you can’t do me anything!
Her husband, tried to report the case to the police three times that day, but there was no one to take his statement. In the case it is said that the husband will try to report the case again to the police in Bitola - It is expect that this time they’ll take action!!!
Given that individuals are aroused, the RDSseeks and appeals Response to Internal Control, Criminal Investigations and Professional Standards to work for the Interior if they can be investigated, if the finding can be confirmed, the police officers involved need disciplinary cases and have grounds to initiate criminal proceedings against them. Also, we appeal the Ministry of Interior to take all preventive measures to prevent unprofessional behavior, profiteering, police brutality and independence in the application of Roma and other categories of poor and marginalized, because it is seen as a practical practice of the police.
