In a letter that was published in a police journal, a police officer commented on Roma in a way that was considered by the UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to be of a “discriminatory, insulting and defamatory nature”. ECRI criticises that this incident may reveal deeper or more widespread prejudices within the police force towards certain groups. Sources:
