Chanting: Italy stop racist attacks; Italy: stop killing Roma people; Italy: stop killing Black people.

Roma camps have gone on fire on at least 8 occasions.
The Italian right wing government are doing nothing to protect the Roma people from racist attacks: instead, they have passed 'emergency' decrees against the Roma; they have evicted camps and squatted buildings leaving the people in the street; they are proceeding to identify and fingerprint the Roma population including children; they have taken hundreds of children from their families. Leading politicians such as the Minister of Interior Maroni and Umberto Bossi, leader of the racist Northern League, have openly incited the mobs to attack and advocated the dismantling of camps and the expulsion of Roma - many of whom have been living in Italy for centuries and are Italian citiziens. Others have arrived from Eastern Europe in recent years, oftenf fleeing racist persecution there.
