There are far more Romany ghettos in the Czech Republic than the official estimate, says Ivan Gabal, a sociologist who is preparing a report for the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. While the government Council for Romany Affairs says that there are at most a few dozen Romany ghettos, Mr Gabal has told the Czech newspaper Lidove noviny his research indicates there are many more: around 330. In his view, districts, individual streets or even single apartment buildings can be classified as ghettos, if the inhabitants live in poverty and on the margins of society.
