Roma: Roma

Roma Dept: "They're throwing molatov cocktails into Roma houses in the neighbourhoods," says Zoe Duval, a 22-year-old Romani who was adopted by Canadian parents, according to CBC. Hungary is now on a list of countries the Canadian government considers safe, making it difficult for Roma people to make refugee claims despite numerous reports of ethnic attacks. Who are the Roma and a Red Deer woman is looking for help in fighting new immigration rules that make it more difficult for Roma people from Hungary to claim refugee status in Canada. A group of Roma protesters demonstrate at an event attended by Immigration Minister Jason Kenney in Toronto on Nov. 4, 2012. The Canadian Press "What these Roma are doing is selling everything they have, they're getting on a plane, they're getting to Canada safely, they're claiming refugee status, they're saying what's going on in Hungary, but now their plans are being denied and they're being sent back now."
