UN rights body rebukes France for mistreating Roma
None
A United Nations human rights body rebuked France on Friday for its crackdown on Roma and urged the government to try to integrate members of the EU's biggest ethnic minority as part of a Europe-wide solution.
The 18 independent experts voiced concern that some of the hundreds of Roma flown to Romania in recent weeks under what France calls a voluntary repatriation program had not been fully informed of their rights or had not freely consented to returning to their homeland. (Reuters)
