Grand Chamber Condemns Police Murder

26 March 2018

The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment on the police killing of two Romani men, finding that the Bulgarian authorities were responsible for the deaths and failed to carry out an investigation capable of unmasking any racial motivation. The case set the standard for judging similar cases in the future and put States on notice that they would be held accountable for not taking murder and ill-treatment of Roma seriously.
