London, UK. Mon 31st October 2016. Roma living in the UK came with a Roma flag to protest at the Czech embassy in London after a young Romani man was attacked and killed by neo-Nazi skinheads as he went to buy cigarettes at a pizzeria in Žatec. The murdered man until a year ago was living in the UK and was a second cousin of Ladislav Balaz (centre), Chair of the Roma Labour Group and Europe Roma Network, who came to hand a letter calling for the murder to be properly investigated to a representative from the Embassy (right). Most cases of murders of Roma in the Czech Republic are dismissed by police as accidents and they have already issued false stories about the victim, claiming he was mentally ill and attacked people. Roma demand justice and equality for everyone in Czech Republic and the elimination of the double standards of justice. Several of the protesters made speeches in Czech as the letter was presented.
