Four jailed for neo-Nazi killing spree that terrified Hungary's Roma

None

A Hungarian court jailed four neo-Nazis on Tuesday for killing Roma families in a spree of racist violence in 2008 and 2009 that shocked the country and led to accusations that police had failed to protect an historically persecuted minority.

 

The gang killed six Roma and wounded several others in planned attacks across the country, creating a climate of fear for members of Hungary's largest ethnic minority. Roma, Three men were jailed for life without parole and a fourth for 13 years, also without parole. The ruling can be appealed. (Reuters)
