On July 6, 2022, Gregor Julson – Grisha from Lund, Sweden died after a serious illness. Grisha was a respected and prominent Roma activist. For many years, with his Roma organization Lovara, Julson worked for the rights of the Roma community both nationally and internationally. As a long-time member of the IRU, in 2016, Chris Romaski was appointed as the Head of the IRU, who held that position until his death.
IRU sends its condolences to the family of Julson, and a commemorative session dedicated to the work and work of this prominent Roma patriot and activist will be held these days.
Eternal glory to him!
