Frankfurt authorities are ‘trying to drive homeless Roma out of town’, says rights group

An organization which supports the rights of Sinti and Roma in Frankfurt has accused city officials of “scandalous" behaviour for tampering with the passports of Roma migrants.

The Roma Support Association (Förderverein Roma) said in a press release that the Frankfurt public order office had acted in an “inhumane” and “illegal” manner when it stamped the passports of two Roma women of Romanian nationality and included the note “caught begging aggressively.”

According to the organization, the stamp nullifies the passports, which are official property of the Romanian state.
