Four men found guilty of a racially-motivated attack against a Romani student in 2002 were ordered to pay the victim 25,000 Czech crowns (approximately 830 Euros) in compensation, reported Radio Prague on May 20, 2005. All four men were additionally ordered to provide written letters of apology and were given suspended sentences the longest of which is three years.
