Slovak investigation into police beating of Romani children in quarantined settlement last year still ongoing

Almost one year since a criminal investigation was launched into the case of an alleged attack by a police officer on children from the Romani settlement in Krompachy, Slovakia in April 2020, a conclusion has yet to be reached in the matter. "The investigation of that case is still underway. The detective from the Office of the Inspection Service is conducting a felony prosecution of that matter on suspicion of commission of the crime of abuse of power by a public official," Petra Friese of the press department at the Interior Ministry of the Slovak Republic told news server Romea.cz. 

According to Friese, the detective is currently undertaking all of the procedural steps necessary to clarify the facts in accordance with the Criminal Code. Given the age of the injured parties, the detective must work closely not just with their legal representatives, but also with child psychologists. 

A criminal report about the case of the Romani children allegedly being beaten was filed by Slovak MEP Peter Pollák and by the Slovak Government Plenipotentiary for Romani Minority Affairs, Andrea Bučková, both of whom are Romani community members. Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová also asked Police President Milan Lučanský for a thorough investigation of the incident.

SDSM reacts: DPMNE Krushevo with a vocabulary offensive to the Roma

"In what context is the term "Gypsy" used in the announcement of VMRO DPMNE Krushevo? Does DPMNE want to insult our fellow Roma with this derogatory word?

Despite the unfounded criticism, DPMNE Krushevo uses abusive words that insult our fellow citizens. While SDSM is working on coexistence, DPMNE is working on divisions. We are all equal citizens, and the vocabulary we use is especially important for coexistence.

"DPMNE Krushevo should apologize for such a dictionary, and the status should not be deleted to testify that discrimination is owned exclusively by the opposition," reads the statement of SDSM Krushevo.

Nis: When will the Roma be displaced from the Jewish Cemetery and Red Star settlements?

There are five Roma settlements in Nis, the oldest of which is the Belgrade neighborhood that was created 100 years ago. In 1924 or 1925, the settlement Stocni Trg was established. First, about 5-6 families moved here. Today there live 1680 adults in 280 dogs. The settlement was established on February 12, 1945. Today there are about 120 houses with 700 inhabitants in that settlement.

A Roma cemetery was first guarded by a Roma man and his family. In the mid-1950s, he came here with his family and then other Roma moved.

Close to the adoption of the detailed urban plan is the settlement Belgrade neighborhood. According to the planning documents, one part of the settlement, Stocni Trg, is provided for housing, which means that part of the population will have to be displaced. As for the settlement Crvena Zvezda, the construction of a business trade space is envisaged in that area and the land is in private ownership, so the relocation will take place with certainty. Roma from Jewish cemeteries are also awaiting eviction. But when it comes down to it, no one can say. When there is political will, there is no money. When there is will and money, the problem is a legal issue. And this has been the case for years and decades ...

If the disease reigns somewhere, it comes and heals the sick. Bibia is celebrated on the third Friday after the beginning of the great Easter fast, around a fruit (tree), usually a pear, which is then called "Bibi-aunt", after the goddess. the day of the celebration, with food (fish, rice, beans, etc.) and soft drinks. The celebration begins with lighting candles and singing prayers (′ ′ For Bibijaka's health and children's happiness! "). Then the host of the celebration, every year, serves men, women and children with food and drink. They bless him and he returns the blessings. Then people go home and continue to celebrate until dark, when everyone gathers for dinner with the hosts of the celebration.
