The sun had not yet come up when the "Berkut" began it's dirty business. Ukrainian shock troops beat down the doors of Romani homes. Like the jackboots that ravaged the Ukraine decades before, these crack troops used racial prejudice to justify their terror.
-
Like rabid dogs the Ukrainian police attacked their prey. Beating men and women alike the savages shouted racist slurs and death threats. Romani children watched on in horror as the people who are supposed to protect them beat their parents nearly to death.
-
The Ukrainian state claims nothing happened. Yet word and evidence of the attacks keeps slipping out of the Ukraine. Roma groups and Human Rights organizations keep reporting the facts that the racist government and police of the Ukraine try to hide.
-
So far one Roma man has died. He had been suffering from tuberculosis. After being attacked he died. Others have been in and out of hospitals as a direct result of the beatings the police gave them.
