US State Department: Czech Republic still discriminating against Roma
minority
The Czech Republic is continuing to discriminate against the Roma minority,
according to an annual report by the US State Department, which evaluates
adherence to human rights worldwide. The report for 2014 says that
discrimination of the Roma population is the Czech Republic’s biggest
human rights problem. It also suggests that Czech politicians and media
contribute significantly to the anti-Roma sentiments in the country. The
study also points out at the ongoing discrimination of Roma children in
Czech schools. Slovakia also came under criticism for the discrimination of
its Roma population.
