Roma People Blame Law Enforcers for Suppressing Them on Ethnic Grounds

March 11, 2008

Roma people, residing in the village of Leninovka in Dedoflistskaro District, blame the district police administration for suppressing them on ethnic grounds. Roma people reported to the Human Rights Center that law enforcers flawed the criminal case materials and insulted them when Roma people visited the police station to find out the situation. They were not allowed in the station. Tomorrow, on March 12 at 1:00 PM Roma people will hold protest demonstration in the village of Leninovka.  

Roma wanted to find out the situation about the car-accident which resulted into the injury of five Roma people. They had various injuries to the body; one of the damaged people, Mikheil Denisenko, is still bounded to the bed. Denisenko said that Zaza Kanchashvili and Moris Batiashvili, employees of the Dedoflistskaro Military Unit of the Georgian Defense Ministry, were driving a car very fast and had an accident. Denisenko claims that the driver was drunk.

Despite the request, the attorney of the Roma people has not been provided with the information about the criminal case yet.
