Currently eight cases regarding xenophobia against the Roma are being considered by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights. Last and most tragic incident took place in Vilshany, Kharkiv region, on May 16, 2017, when one Romani person was killed and three were wounded.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was stated by Aksana Filipishyna, representative of the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights for children\u2019s rights, non-discrimination and gender equality. \u201cLast year in August the events in Loshchynivka village, Odesa region, opened the Pandora\u2019s box. (In August 2016<\/a> a 9-year old girl was killed in the village, a Romani person was detained as the crime suspect; following the events the Roma community was forced out of the village – UCMC). We saw further attempts to force the Roma out, their settlements burnt down and cases of beating. There\u2019s almost a dozen of cases demonstrating intolerance towards Roma. Death of a person is the red line that our society has already crossed. [\u2026] Most disturbing is the fact that representatives of the authorities are involved in all the cases \u2013 as they call and spread xenophobic moods against the Roma,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons for such escalation: the state takes no action in the Roma affairs, xenophobic claims often do not result in adequate feedback on the part of law enforcement agencies. \u201cConsistent state ethnic and national policy is lacking at all levels, protection and actual integration of the Roma national minority into the Ukrainian society is missing. Meanwhile anti-Roma statements by some representatives of local authorities are not openly condemned or punished by the state agencies,\u201d said Mariana Magomedova, coordinator of the Roma Program Initiative of the International Renaissance Foundation. There is an opinion that the situation is not worsening. It comes as a result of the policy for increased openness of the authorities that cast light on the problem that has been there for long.<\/p>\n

Police report they have established a group that is investigating into the Vilshany incident, three persons were arrested. Representatives of the Roma community are concerned that if those guilty are able to get away with it and are not held liable, it will create a dangerous precedent to oppress the Roma. \u201cIf the case is not finalized and those guilty are not held liable, it may serve a dangerous example for other regions showing how Roma should be treated, how to get rid of them. Even now in Vilshany the call is on to force the Roma out of the village. It is unacceptable, police have to respond accordingly,\u201d emphasized Vadym Matiushenko, head of the \u201cRomen\u201d national and cultural union of Roma.<\/p>\n
