France: Roma boy 'kicked in face' highlights French police brutality claims

Interior minister says he does not understand officers’ version of events

There are growing calls for justice from the families of two alleged victims of police violence in France including a 14-year-old Roma boy left with severe facial injuries after his arrest.

 

Christophe Castaner, the French interior minister, has said the case of Gabriel Djordjevic, who sustained a fracture to his eye socket and four broken teeth after he claimed he was kicked by a police officer, was “troubling”.

 

Castaner said he did not understand the police explanation for the boy’s injuries, which was that he had fallen.

 

“It’s not normal that a 14-year-old boy, or anyone else, be injured during an arrest. There are two explanations: that of the young man and that of the police officers and they are totally contradictory. It’s not for me to decide which is right,” Castaner told BFMTV. He said he had referred the case to internal police investigators.

Cadiz, Spain: Is Spanish Roma's Daniel Jimenez another victim of police brutality?

Will the conscience work? Will the truth be known? Whether the death of young Roma Daniele Jimenez will be invisible to the public.

These questions are asked by Daniel's family, relatives, and friends.

His family claims that Daniele actually died under tragic and unknown circumstances at a police station in the province of Cadiz.

 

But a police report says he died of nonviolent death.

Everything is now in the hands of the judiciary and the investigators of this case.

Will Daniele be one of a series of violent attacks by police officers with deadly consequences?

 

For sweating. The famous case of George Floyd from Minneapolis who was killed by a police officer for minor work. It is an alleged payment with a fake credit card and a poor $ 20.

In the case of Daniel Jimenez, he is even more bizarre, because he was caught fishing without a fishing license and was detained.

 

In general, and more or less consciously, in both cases there is a shadow of racism rooted in thoughts, attitudes and behaviors that lead to mistrust between minority peoples and hegemonic society, the result of which is visible inequality and all forms of visible injustice.

Saban Bajramovic passed away 12 years ago

Saban Bajramovic passed away 12 years ago, and the music world lost one recognizable vocal and energy. "Time" magazine ranked him among the 10 greatest blues singers in the world, and on the anniversary of his death, his "Black Bamba" did not forget him, whose trumpet was still heard today on the Nisava Quay, near the monument of legends writes Southern news 

 

From Nišvilawhich every year dedicates a part of the festival to Bajramović through the award that bears his name and concerts on the quay, they write that Shaban was one of the greatest legends.

Nišvila, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of Serbia, organized a concert "Friends of Shaban" in Belgrade's Sava Center six months after Bajramovic's death, featuring Mystery of Bulgarian Voices, Yildiz Ibrahimova, Dado Topic, Sounds of South, Louis, Zoran Predin, Crne Mambe, Dixie Drive and the queen of Roma music Esma Redžepova.


Shaban has performed in Nišvilaseveral times, and the Grand Prix, which has been awarded for years for the fusion of jazz and other musical styles - took the name of Shaban Bjaramovic during his lifetime.

My conclusion: Why does COVID-19 "not enter" Roma neighborhoods?

The Roma were not forced to keep a physical distance in their communities at all, because society has kept them in a form of isolation for centuries. I'm not saying that there was no danger of the corona entering the Roma settlements, but the real bigger danger of being infected were the people who went to work regularly, often two or three people - three from one family, bought in shopping malls, made transactions in banks, went in ambulances, hospitals and were there in places where for years the Roma did not even have access before the pandemic.

 

The term "the crown does not come as a guest, but as a gift in itself" suggests that in order to catch the virus, certain preconditions must be met.

Despite the fact that in most Roma settlements the conditions and infrastructure are at the lowest level, those settlements are literally "closed" from external influences.

 

What I would like to recommend is the following: If emergencies are declared again, I recommend that you, who are not Roma, move to one of the Roma settlements in the city where you live for a while.

 

There may be no water or electricity, your nice white or gray metallic car will be a little dirty from unpaved roads and alleys, you will really live with the Roma in poverty and you will finally understand how the Roma live, but you will be completely isolated from the rest of the world.

 

Now, if you really don't get infected with the coronavirus, I can't guarantee 100%, but if you don't get infected, the chances are high, why would you be completely isolated from the rest of the world, not to mention - completely forgotten. Sometimes a TV crew can come and record and make an attractive addition, supposedly the Roma do not wear masks, but - every miracle for three days!

Think about it - the choice is yours!
