Today we will be talking about racism, in an area where we should expect it the least, in the justice system.

A summary report from the ERRC and Fair Trials on Roma and the criminal justice system in Czech Republic, Slovakia, North Macedonia, and Serbia has recently been published. It casts light on antigypsyism in the police, courts, and prison system.

In this episode our guests are: Krassimir Kanev from the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee, Ioana Barbulescu, representing criminal justice watchdog Fair Trials, and Aleksandra Dubova chair of the Forum for Human Rights. In the second half of the episode we will be looking closer at the racism in the criminal justice system and the power of litigation, with our fourth guest, Dimitrina Petrova, co-founder of the Equal Rights Trust and former chair of the European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC).

How can we start combating racism in ourselves, our schools, neighbourhoods, countries and our continent?

Let's listening to a conversation between the Director of the European Union Fundamental Rights Agency Michael O’Flaherty and Bernard Rorke Advocacy and Policy manager at the European Roma Rights Centre. They sat for a talk specially for the Romani Tea Room.
