Over the past few months, Ukraine’s Roma community has been the target of numerous attacks up and down the country. Roma people have lost their homes, possessions, and been beaten in a string of at least seven reported incidents.
The two latest attacks have even proved fatal. On June 23, a 24-year-old Roma man died from stab wounds after teenage members of a far-right organization attacked a Roma camp outside Lviv. Three other people, including a 10-year-old boy, were also injured in this particularly violent incident.
Most of the perpetrators of the Lviv attack, led by a 20-year-old man, were minors belonging to a group called Sober and Angry Youth, known for its ultra right-wing politics and neo-Nazi leanings.
