• Roma demand a public aplogy

Diena features an article about an incident in Jekabpils (town in the Eastern part of Latvia) when NGOs that distributed bread free-of-charge refused to give it to any Roma  allegedly after Romani children kicked a loaf of bread with their foot. A representative of the Jekabpil’s Romani NGO stated that Roma demand a public apology and will bring this case to the court. The Romani NGO is also planning to bring another case to the court:  traffic police confiscated a car, which belongs to Roma. A representative of the Romani NGO believes that the car was confiscated because its owner was a Romani man. Diena
