Hindus, Jews want tearing down of wall separating Roma
Hindus and Jews have strongly criticized erection of a wall in Ostrovany in Slovakia to keep out and separate the Roma from the others.
CALLING IT a blatant sign of apartheid, Rajan Zed, Hindu statesman and Rabbi Jonathan B. Freirich, prominent Jewish leader In a statement issued in Nevada today, said that it clearly showed the attitude of European Union towards its most maltreated community of Roma. Zed and Rabbi Freirich pointed out that it was appalling to see how inhumanely Europe was treating its about 15 million Roma brothers-sisters. It was clearly reprehensible, hazardous and immoral and a brazen failure of Europe to meet its international obligations. When it came to Roma, Europe frequently failed to implement its own laws distinctly mentioned in its own books.
Rajan Zed and Jonathan Freirich further said that, the alarming condition of Roma people was a social blight for Europe and the rest of the world as they reportedly regularly faced social exclusion, racism, substandard education, hostility, joblessness, rampant illness, inadequate housing, lower life expectancy, unrest, living on desperate margins, language barriers, stereotypes, mistrust, rights violations, discrimination, marginalization, appalling living conditions, prejudice, human rights abuse, racist slogans on Internet, etc.
Besides the absence of any serious efforts at their inclusion, Roma were being used as “punch bag” and blamed for the social ills of Europe and many politicians even exploited segregation to their political advantage. European neglect was trapping Roma in cycles of persecution and poverty. The Roma issue should be one of the highest priorities of human rights agenda of Europe and the world, thus reversing the history of persecution, Zed and Freirich stressed.
