"Roma perception " (by Alex bi.) http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/17129 The newly established italian government declares in 2008 the emergency state for the presence of nomadic communities, sets up censuses and the booking of every community and fingerprints all of them, children included. The Prefect of Rome refuses to follow the steps taken by his colleagues in Naples and Milan, but the Police decides to go ahead. The European Community calls for explanations and reports the limited progress achieved in Italy for the protection of the Roma and Sinti human rights. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/7703/DSCN0041_small.jpg Roma perception | Alex bi. http://www.lightstalkers.org/Alex bi.
