Institutionalisierter Antiziganismus in Italien
Verfasst von entdinglichung am 30. Juni 2008
Offenbar plant, einem Bericht der EveryOne Group zufolge der italienische Innenminister und Rassist Roberto Maroni (Lega Nord) alle Roma-Kinder in Italien erkennungsdienstlich behandeln zu lassen (Fotos und Fingerabdrücke) … knapp 60 Jahre nach der Implementierung des faschistischen „Manifesto della razza“ Mussolinis, welches u.a. die Aufstellung von Listen italienischer Jüdinnen und Juden zur Folge hatte, welche in der Periode der deutschen Besatzung Nord- und Mittelitaliens 1943-1945 den deutschen Stellen die Deportation und Ermordung von 8.000 Menschen erleichterten. Gleichzeitig berichtet die EveryOne Group von weiteren brutalen Bullenübergriffen gegen Roma und von der offenbar zunehmender Praxis lokaler Stellen, Roma-Familien die Kinder zu entziehen:
On May 17th and 18th, 2008 the Hungarian Euro MP, Viktoria Mohacsi, carried out an inspection of several Roma settlements in Italy, in Rome and Naples. In Naples she talked to some Roma families during the period of the pogroms, of the criminalization by the media, the racist patrols and the “zero tolerance” (in other words “zero rights”) being carried out by the police force. Mrs Mohacsi listened to accounts of a persecutory phenomenon being carried out against the Roma that EveryOne has been calling attention to for the last two years. In the space of a couple of years all trace has been lost of 12 Roma children taken from their parents by the Naples Juvenile Court”, reports Viktoria Mohasci. “Some of these children were accused of begging, but their parents have heard nothing about their fate for the last two years”. During her meetings (as she testified before the EU assembly) the Euro MP was able to ascertain that there have been hundreds of similar cases in Italy.
…
Deprived of their children, often in the space of a few hours after being arrested by the police on an excuse (and sometimes after being administered sleeping pills or sedatives) the mothers become incapable of opposing the measures being carried out by the social services and suffer such traumatic moral and psychological repercussions that they often attempt suicide.
In Rome, according to one witness, a young mother was killed when she threw herself in front of a car after being told her very small baby would not be returned to her. After having their babies taken from them (usually only a few months old, but also children of four, five and six) the Roma families suffer pressure and threats of all kinds to stop them protesting or seeking legal aid (which in Italy, is inadequate when it comes to defending Roma citizens). In many cases, after they have lost custody of their children, the parents have received a written warning or expulsion order.
