Human Rights Groups Accuses EU of Racial Discrimination

Human Rights Groups have blamed the European Union of discrimination against Roma leaders. Countries in the Europe have ordered the Roma groups to leave the European countries. Human right groups have said that the human rights of these 16 million Roma are being violated.

The groups have accused the EU of ignoring all the suggestions and also, that it has not worked to deal the issues like migration of the minority groups.

France President Nicolas Sarkozy has recently announced the expulsion of illegal Roma groups from the country and the leaders were enraged due to the language used by the President. He also said that their camps would be ruined, in case they did not follow the rules.

In the meanwhile, police in Sweden also expelled the migrant groups accusing them of violating the rules and regulations.

In Belgium, nearly 700 Roma people were expelled and now these people have established their camps in Wallonia.

Germany is also sending back young Roma from their homes. These expelled Roma would be facing problems anywhere outside the country, as these Roma children and teenagers don't know the Serbian or Albanian languages.

It is well known that Roma face discrimination in most of the east European countries.
