Prison Corruption - Mobile with internet for 600, no internet up to 200 euros

The Most Profitable Mobile Business in the State Penitentiary.

Cell phones, a visit to a prison doctor and a dentist, a refrigerator are some of the services that prison inmates throughout Macedonia, in some research by journalists and international organizations, stress that they can get at the prison at certain prices.

 

The situation with corruption in the past has been much worse, they estimate. Now the situation is somehow more under control, but some things can be bought in the prison, some of which a prisoner may not own

 

Big business in jail is cell phones. A prisoner must not own a cellphone, but most have it. A regular phone that can only be used for phone calls costs at least 130 and can cost up to 200 euros.

 

It must be said, however, that corruption is not at the level at which it is publicized, as such statements of corruption are mostly excuses by convicts who are not satisfied with some conditions in prison.

 

Responsibility for the conditions in which prison police work is ascribed to previous management, and they hope that if new jobs are approved they will be able to devote more effectively to securing convicts and preventing corruption in prison.

Slovak court compensates illegally sterilized Romani woman after 15 yearsThe Regional Court in Košice, Slovakia has upheld an award of compensation to a Romani woman who was illegally sterilized in the fully requested amount of more than EUR 16 000. In 1999, doctors at a hospital in Krompachy sterilized the woman without obtaining her informed consent to the procedure and it has taken her 15 years to achieve justice through the courts. "It is positive that the domestic courts have finally awarded a woman who has been harmed in this way adequate compensation. However, the entire proceedings lasted an unbelievable 15 years, and the courts made many errors during that time. For that reason, I am convinced that in this case the courts did not manage to actually provide her effective access to justice," said the legal representative of the injured woman, Vanda Durbáková. "At the same time, it must be emphasized that the courts do not have to be the only venue for providing redress and may not be the most effective one when there is the suspicion of such a serious, systemic violation of the human rights of minority members as the forced sterilizations of Romani women," Durbáková added.

Pula: Arrested man linked to murder of Roma children

Pula police in the Kavran neighborhood have arrested two people suspected of committing multiple crimes, from forging documents to extorting funds.

 

According to media reports, one of them is Nijaz Causevic - Medo (66), who is linked to the murder of Roma children in Bosnia during the war, with the second detainee allegedly his son.

 

According to media reports, Nijaz Causevic Medo admitted to taking part in the murders of Roma children for organ trafficking, but later denied it. The massacre took place in 1992 in the village of Sijkovica near Bosanski Brod, where the bodies were found and exhumed in 2004.

 

Lawyer Dusko Tomic claims that Causevic once confessed to him that members of the Croatian Armed Forces (HOS) killed Roma children who were traveling by bus from BiH to Western Europe. The children were allegedly taken out of organs that were later sold on the black market for human organs.

 

Causevic told Croatian media he had never heard of such a crime before, nor did he, but by personal confession, he could not enter BiH because he was declared a war criminal here.

Silas Cropf: Because of 'Roma Stereotypes' I Hid My Identity

One of those who agreed to share their story with the German newspaper

Spiegel is also Silas Kropf. Until his teens, he kept to himself the fact that he was a Sinti, because it was related that his family was in exile during the Nazi era.

 

"My grandfather was afraid that such a thing might happen again, so we didn't show our culture openly to the outside world, and we only spoke German, not Roma. My family suffered major traumas during the Nazis.

 

My great-grandmother was also Sinti and had more brothers and sisters whose families were deported to the camps. Only a few returned - others were killed.

 

During his schooling, his identity as Sinti was kept secret by Silas. He cites collective mistrust in Germany's state institutions, which he believes were highly prejudiced against Roma and Sinti people.

However, even after his education, Silas had reasons for not revealing his nationality.

 

"When I went out with my company, they sometimes forgot that I was Sinti, and exposed me to inappropriate jokes. I can't say the exact number of situations where they told me, "It's not true that you are Sinti, you can't be Sinti, you don't look like them at all. Like the majority of Roma who want to integrate into society, I have witnessed many ugly jokes such as "See the Gypsies" for people who looked very poor "says Silas.
