Document:
Още усилия са необходими за по-добрата защита на малцинствата и на децата в България, така че техните нужди да бъдат защитени. Това е основният извод в доклада на Томас Хамарберг, комисар за защита правата на човека към Съвета на Европа. Неговите бележки се основат на посещение в страната ни през ноември 2009 година.
"Защитата на малцинствата срещу дискриминация, расизъм и нетолерантност трябва да бъде повишена", смята Хамърберг. Той предлага законодателни промени, според които расистката мотивация да се счита за утежняващо вината обстоятелство за всички престъпления. "Трябват и адекватни мерки за намаляване и наказания на лошото отношение на полицейските служители", допълва още комисарят.
България трябва да предостави обезщетение и бързо да решат пенсионните искове на жертвите от "Възродителния процес".
Хамарберг има препоръки и за отношението ни към религиозните общности. Местните власти и правоохранителните органи трябва да бъдат точно инструктирани как да избягват ненужните намеси в правото на упражняване на свободата на религията. В доклада се подчертава, че трябва да бъдат решени и имуществени искове, включително и тези на мюсюлманската общност.
Властите трябва да подобрят достъпа до информация и до здравни услуги за ромите, етническите турци и помаците. Именно начина на живот на ромите тревожи Съвета на Европа. Те продължават да живеят в условия под всякакви стандарти. Достъпът до адекватни жилищни условия, образование и социални права остава проблематичен, смята комисарят. Често срещу тях се извършват престъпления, чиято мотивация е на расистка основа.
