Live from Berlin at the Urania: Expelled and forgotten.The history of the Roma from Kosovo

Speeker: ŠANI RIFATI, Roma acitivist from VOICE OF ROMA.

The panel deals with the expulsion of the Roma after the Kosovo war in 1999. After the peace agreement, the (Kosovo) Albanians started to systematically expel the Roma from this region, especially from 13 June 1999, after they had lived there for more than 600 years. Part of the ethnic cleansing was torture, rape and murder as well as the destruction or looting and taking over of Roma property, including about 20,000 houses.
