The end of the road, Amanda Sebastyen. Red Pepper March 1999, pp16-17. This article looks at Romany refugees who are attacked and frequently murdered by police and skinheads in the Czech and Slovak republics, then racially harassed on their arrival in the UK before being subjected to enforced deportation. Under the new White Paper on asylum and immigration, Sebastyen observes, this will "become law for all asylum seekers."
