(Last modified: 2009-09-11 14:10:42)
In Italy, expressions of racism and xenophobia against Roma reached new and astounding proportions in 2008. This report includes information and analysis about the implications of Romani migration within the EU, changes in Italy's political climate since the April 2008 elections, legal and policy developments targeting Roma under the new government, increased levels of police abuse and ill-treatment of Roma and the failure of the Italian government to condemn and prosecute extreme acts of violence and discrimination against Roma by non-state actors. It concludes with a series of recommended actions for the Italian government and intergovernmental bodies to end extreme violations of the rights of Roma living in Italy.
