Slovakia bans far-right train patrols targeting Roma

BRATISLAVA, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Oct, 2016 ) - The Slovak parliament on Tuesday outlawed vigilante train patrols by a far-right party that had targeted the EU member's large Roma minority.

Members of the far-right opposition People's Party Our Slovakia (L'SNS) began patrolling Slovak trains in April after a 16-year-old boy attacked a 21-year-old girl and stole her wallet.

"No one can replace police in this country and no one should act like it either," Justice Minister Lucia Zitnanska said Tuesday, quoted by the local TASR news agency.
