20,000 Romai being expelled from Italy and racist Violence

The European Union has criticised the mass expulsion of Romani from four provinces in the Italian state.
12,000 families including children are moving north through italy and facing summary expulsion.

it's called hate crime.

For three days in Naples, Shanties and encampments have been subject to mob violence.
This is after the media-owning Mr Burlusconi and his friends decided to abuse citizen rights in an act of expulsion
that has no precedent in Post WW2 European History.
sacrimage-

The expulsion can be compared in contemporary history to events that preceeded the Balkan wars.
The Europeand Committtee for the Prevention of Torture has reacted to the Human Rights Abuses
of Italian State office holders:

for info on acceptance of rights and freedoms of ethnic and or indigenous community, the UN has
pages on Conventions and Rights.

mr Burlusconi is a media-magnate and thus there is little local coverage of the mass expulsion
from the effected regions. in Conventional terms , those who re-enter political office under the banner
of their corruption tend to make gestures like this - it happened in Oaxaca, where an indymedia journalist
was murdered covering a siege and put-down that MSM refused to even look at.

Google now have a computer tech service which charts migrancy and maps routes taken by those who flee
war or face expulsions due to greed and respource theft. The tech was developed in the Africas.

will update in the comments box.

italian Citizens who do not support their Government's decision to breach internationally
accepted rights can contact embassy or local political representatives in ireland and ask
them if the Irish government are in support of the Domestic Policy of the Corrupt Burlusconi Regime.
