On Friday afternoon, a group of over 500-600 residents of Suto Orizari gathered on Jovan Hadzishishkov Street in protest and revolt.

The reason for the revolt, according to them, is that just before 19:00, a vehicle of the police patrol passing through that street, caused a traffic accident and one person was injured. According to eyewitnesses, the vehicle did not stop and continued on its way.

The injured person, with the help of his close relatives, was taken to the city hospital "St. Naum Ohridski" in Skopje. But then there was an incident where, according to his relatives, the allegedly injured after the medical treatment was taken out of the back of the hospital, and they accuse that police officers used physical force and was taken to a police station.

Due to that, there was a great revolt among the gathered citizens, who reacted to that brutality, and at the same time they did not have any information where the injured person was taken.

According to unofficial statements of his loved ones, he was mistreated and beaten and taken to the Centar police station.

So far, there is no feedback from the police, because the spokespersons of the Ministry of Interior and the SIA Skopje did not answer the phone calls of the editorial office of Roma Times.

On May 16, 1940, at 6:00 a.m. in Hamburg, Roma and Sinti were arrested by the criminal police, and taken to the then Belzec concentration camp in a section marked as Baraka C.

This means that the Holocaust (Poraimos) against the Roma and Sinti began on May 20, 1940 with the first deportation train.

There were two more deportations of Roma and Sinti from Hamburg and nine to Auschwitz. The first on March 11, 1943 and April 26, 1944.

The deportation of Roma and Sinti was also during World War II throughout Germany and many European countries. Of these, over 90% ended up being fatal for Roma and Sinti.

This persecution of Roma and Sinti has not been recognized for a long time. It was not until 1982 that the first persecution in Hamburg was fought over a commemorative event in Hamburg.

Due to the situation with the coronavirus this year at the 80th anniversary of the event, it will not be possible to celebrate the event en masse, but still a small delegation will light a candle and lay wreaths at the Roman cemetery "Dibstaich" in Hamburg.
